"I used to play the field, I used to be a roamer
But the season's turning 'round for me now,
I finally bagged me a Homer!"
―Lurleen Lumpkin[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. She sang "Your Wife Don't Understand You" for the rowdy bar crowd, and Homer was amazed by her voice. He decided to help her launch a singing career, much to the chagrin of Marge. Lurleen was grateful to have someone helping her with her career, but she quickly started falling for Homer, and it came out in her song lyrics. First, she flirted with him in "Bagged Me a Homer," which angered Marge, but to which Homer remained oblivious. Then she made an open attempt to seduce him with an erotic song called "Bunk with Me Tonight." When Lurleen sang the song for him, it finally dawned on Homer that Lurleen was attracted to him. Later he had another epiphany, and 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 new 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 enjoyed a brief period of success after Homer quit managing her. At what Kent Brockman described as the peak of her career, she appeared as a celebrity guest on The Muppet Show. Lurleen sang "Bunk with Me Tonight" for Kermit the Frog, which got him into trouble with Miss Piggy. After that, however, her career went into a downward spiral[2].

Lurleen's personal life evidently went the same way as her career, as she started drinking heavily[3]. Lurleen also apparently never got over Homer: She married and divorced three times, and all three of her husbands, despite being from diverse ethnic backgrounds, bore striking resemblances to Homer[2].

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[3].

Lurleen 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 [4].

Lurleen resurfaced when Mayor Quimby was aggressively rounding up citizens who owed back taxes, and she was arrested. She pleaded to Judge Snyder that she couldn't afford to pay anything because all of her money was going to her ex-husbands, but Snyder was unmoved and ordered her to start paying her taxes. Homer and Marge promised to help her get her career back on track, and Marge helped reunite Lurleen with her deadbeat father. When her father betrayed her again (stealing one of her new songs), Lurleen retook control of her career and went on to open for The Dixie Chicks. She apparently still didn't have her personal issues resolved, though, as she was falling for yet another man who resembled Homer[2].
