After a particularly bad movie experience, Homer drives to a bar where he discovers a singer named Lurleen Lumpkin. Homer becomes her manager (calling himself "Colonel Homer") and helps her launch her musical career.

Plot

Homer and Marge go see a "The Stockholm Affair" at the Springfield Gogoplex Theatres. Homer keeps talking throughout the film and angers the audience by revealing the end of the movie. Meanwhile, Bart and Lisa go to watch Space Mutants. After coming out of the theater, Homer is angry and after dropping off the family, Homer goes for a drive to Spittle County.

In Spittle County, Homer finds The Beer -N- Brawl bar. He orders a Fudd Beer from here and then listens to Lurleen Lumpkin's song. After her song, he speaks to her and introduces himself. Lurleen thanks Homer for complimenting her and they both leave. Back home, Homer is happier than ever because of Lurleen's song and is in a great mood.

Homer eventually goes back to see Lurleen in the Royal King Trailer Park. He then takes Lurleen to record her song at Lucky's Records where the employee, Wade, then asks them if they want to take her CD to KUDD Radio for them to play it. They accept and the song is played over Springfield, making everyone stop fighting and be happy, including prisoners. After this success, Lurleen asks Homer to be his manager, which he accepts. After getting Homer a new outfit at The Corpulent Cowboy, she starts to record songs at Hicksville U.S.A. Recording Studio. However, Marge isn't happy with all the time Homer is spending with Lurleen.

After this success, Lurleen informs Homer that she has gotten a deal to appear on the TV show Ya Hoo! and that she wants to sing new songs on it. She then sings "Bunk With Me Tonight" and after Homer realizes what she is asking, he rejects Lurleen and drives off. Lurleen then appears on Ya Hoo! before the show, Lurleen kisses Homer and Homer remembers his family and Marge and tells her that he is quitting being her manager. He then comes home to Marge and apologizes while Lurleen sings on TV.
