The Garbage Man
The Garbage Man is a song that appeared in "Trash of the Titans". It's sung by Homer, U2, some garbagemen and various residents of Springfield. The song showcases all of the "crazy promises" that Homer made when he ran to be garbage comissioner.
The song is a parody of "The Candy Man" song from the film, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".
Triva
- Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street makes a cameo in this song, seeing as though he likes trash and lives in a garbage can, his appearence makes sense.
- This music number likely cost over 2 million dollars to produce with U2 and other fees added.
Lyrics
(Spoken by Homer): Oh, the garbage man can Marge. The garbage man can . . . (Sung) Homer: Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you. Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty-thingy too? The garbage man . . . oh, the garbage man can.
The garbage man can and he does it with a smile and never judges you.
Marge: Who can take this diaper? GM: I don't mind at all. Wiggum: Who can clean me up before the big policemans' ball? The garbage man . . . yes, the garbage man can.
U2: The sanitation folks are jolly, friendly blokes. Courteous and easygoing! They mop up when you're overflowing . . . and tell you when your arse is showing! Apu: Who can? Mel: Who can? Ned: Who can? Oscar the Grouch: Who can? U2: The garbage man can! Bart & Lisa: 'Cause he's Homer Simpson man!
He cleans the world for . . . YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
