Song Information Singers: Beverly D'Angelo Characters: Lurleen Lumpkin Length: 35 seconds Appearance(s): "Colonel Homer"

"Stand By Your Manager" is a song sung by Lurleen Lumpkin (voiced by Beverly D'Angelo) in the episode "Colonel Homer".

Background

While Homer was managing her musical career, Lurleen became attracted to him and made a couple of attempts to seduce him. After the second attempt, which occurred during Lurleen's appearance on the variety TV show Ya Hoo!, Homer realized that if he stayed on as her manager, he would lose his family. He then sold her contract to another agent, hurried home, and got into bed with Marge just in time to see Lurleen sing the song on TV.

Lyrics

Lurleen: [speaking]

Now I'd like to play a song I wrote just this minute. It's called "Stand By Your Manager". His name is Homer.

[singing]

He's quite a man.

I tried to kiss him,

But Homer ran.

Sure wish I could say

That I was his.

I hope that Marge knows

Just how lucky she is.

Marge:

I do.
