Flaming Homer

The Flaming Homer is an accidentally created cocktail drink that was invented by Homer Simpson in Flaming Moe's.

When Patty and Selma were visiting to show the Simpsons slides of their holiday, becoming bored with the slideshow Homer decided he needed a beer. Patty explained that she took the last beer and Homer was forced to make something out of left-over alcoholic beverages.

After mixing several types of liquor together, while not paying attention he mixed in some Krusty-brand cough syrup and upon returning to the slideshow, Patty unknowingly dropped her cigarette ashes in Homer's drink, setting it on fire. He blew out the fire and discovered the drink to be much more tasty.

Homer explained the recipe to Moe, who then claimed the drink as his own, renaming it "Flaming Moe", stealing the idea from Homer. The drink became so popular with locals and visitors alike, Moe renamed his tavern after it bringing in a ton of new business based on nothing but the drink's addictive taste. Homer then got incredibly angry at Moe, and how everybody adored the drink that he invented. He showed up, laughing like a maniac at Moe and everyone, how they were "choking down your Flaming Moes, all the time wondering 'How does he do it?'" He then revealed the ingredient to be cough syrup.

Later, with no hard feelings, Moe served Homer a Flaming Homer on the house.

The Flaming Moe's Song

(NOTE: The lines in brackets are sung in the background)

When the weight of the world has got you down
And you want to end your life,
Bills to pay, a dead-end job,
And problems with the wife.
But don't throw in the tow'l,
'Cuz there's a place right down the block...
Where you can drink your misery away...
At Flaming Moe's.... (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)
When liquor in a mug (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)
Can warm you like a hug. (Flaming Moe's...)
And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...
Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...
