Summary
- "Lisa Simpson is discovered by chart-topping artists Billie Eilish and FINNEAS while searching for a quiet place to practice her saxophone. Billie invites Lisa to her studio for a special jam session she'll never forget."
Plot
Lisa is playing the sax on the couch, when she receives a message on her phone by Homer to stop playing so he can work (sleep on the hammock) in peace. Marge comes in the room to clean up and starts bothering her, cleaning the sax too. Lisa relocates on the treehouse, but Bart starts using a chainsaw to bother her too, so she relocates to a room at Springfield Elementary that is labeled "Welcome kids who can't practice at home", where she finds other kids playing.
Not finding peace, she relocates under an overpass, where a car stops nearby, and Billie Eilish notices her and invites her to jam at Billie Eilish Recording, where they play the Simpsons theme and everyone in Springfield appreciates it. In the end they end up stargazing above the car where they discuss her family appreciating her music.
