To the animal pound!

Behind the Laughter

The music was written by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by Dan McGrath. It is the twenty-first track of Songs in the Key of Springfield and the track is a medley of the songs "Saved by the Bell" (1:00) and "Jackpot" (0:19) "Springfield, Springfield (Parts 1 & 2)" (1:32) and "Remember This?" (0:15) and "Another Edwardian Morning" (0:34). It is also featured in the episode "All Singing, All Dancing".

Trivia

• The song is based on "New York, New York" from On the Town. (A reference to this is seen during the song where a lost sailor sings part of the song, but is corrected by Bart.)
