―Lurleen Lumpkin^{[[Bagged Me a Homer|[src]]]}

Lurleen Lumpkin is an attractive, aspiring country western singer. Homer was her manager for a time.

History

Homer discovered Lurleen in a bar in the middle of nowhere, and was amazed by her voice. He decided to help her launch a singing career, much to the chagrin of Marge. Lurleen started to fall for Homer and tried to seduce him with an erotic song called "Bunk with Me Tonight". Homer, who had previously been unaware of her attraction to him, suddenly realized that managing Lurleen could hurt his marriage, so he abruptly quit as her manager (very abruptly, while she was in the middle of a TV appearance) and went home. Saddened, but wiser, Lurleen then sang on the show a song called "Stand By Your Manager" which she had written on the spot. Happily, Homer and Marge were able to make up before the show was over^[1].

Lurleen was present during the opening of the Springfield Monorail, where she revealed to Kent Brockman that she had been to the Betty Ford Clinic and had "spent last night in a ditch". She may have been inside the monorail when it went out of control during its maiden voyage ^[2].

Lureen was also seen as one-fourth of a bowling team called "The Home Wreckers", the other three members being Jacques Brunswick, Mindy Simmons and Princess Kashmir ^[3].

Marge helped reunite Lurleen with her deadbeat father after her career was ruined. When her father betrayed her again (stealing one of her songs), she retook control of her career and went on to open for The Dixie Chicks.

Songs

Your Wife Don't Understand You
Bagged Me a Homer
Bunk with Me Tonight
Stand By Your Manager
Daddy's Back (Lurleen's Dad stole the song from her and The Dixie Chicks sang a version of the song called "America's Back")

Behind the laughter

In her debut appearance in "Colonel Homer", Lurleen Lumpkin is voiced by American actress and singer Beverly D'Angelo. D'Angelo reprises her role in the Season 19 episode "Papa Don't Leech".
In "Marge vs. the Monorail", Lurleen is voiced by Doris Grau.
Lurleen is based on the character Lynn Halsey-Taylor, played by Sondra Locke in the Clint Eastwood movie Every Which Way but Loose.
