"He's your perky, peppy nightmare-nieghborino!"
Everybody Hates Ned Flanders is an Emmy-nominated song from the episode Dude, Where's My Ranch?. In the episode, it was written by Homer Simpson. It was supposed to be a Christmas carol, but when Flanders interrupted Homer's writing of it, he decided to make a hate song about him. After hearing it in Moe's Tavern, guest star David Byrne decided to make it into a CD and have it play all over Springfield on radios, church choirs and karaoke bars. However, after hearing several knock-offs, Homer gives up on the song. The music was written by Alf Clausen and Ken Keeler and the lyrics by Ian Maxtone-Graham and Keeler. It is part of the seventeenth track on the album The Simpsons: Testify. It was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Music and Lyrics in 2003. It lost to "Aren't They All Our Children" from the television special The Concert for World Children's Day.
Lyrics
- Lenny and Carl:
- F-L-A,
- Homer:
- His name is Ned!
- Lenny and Carl:
- E-R-S,
- Homer:
- That's a stupid name!
- It's worse than Frankenstein
- Or Dr. No!
- David Byrne:
- You can't upset him even slightly,
- He just smiles and nods politely,
- Then goes home and worships nightly,
- His Leftorium is an emporium of woe!
- Lenny and Carl:
- F-L-A,
- Homer:
- Don't yell at Ned!
- Lenny and Carl:
- D-E-R,
- Homer:
- His wife is dead! (woman screams)
- Everybody hates that stupid jerk!
- David Byrne:
- Springfield rocks with Homer's joyous loathing,
- Filling clubs with angry Valentinos.
- You don't have to move your feet,
- Just hate Flanders to the disco beat.
- Homer and David Byrne:
- He's your perky, peppy, nightmare neighborino!
- If you despise polite left-handers,
- Homer, David, and Ned:
- Then I doubt you'll like Ned Flanders
- Or his creepy little offspring, Rod and Todd.
- Todd:
- That's us!
- Rod:
- Hooray!
- Audience:
- F-L-A!
- Apu:
- His name is Ned!
- Audience:
- E-R-S!
- Apu:
- He is so white bread!
- Homer and Choir:
- The smiling moustache geek who walks with God!
- Reverend Lovejoy:
- Mass dismissed.
