Moe returns from a vacation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and explains to other Springfielders in a Town Hall meeting that Tuscaloosa uses the same town anthem that Springfield, this causes a series of angry reactions. [[Melvin Van Horne]] attempts to calm everyone by saying that it could be a coincidence, but Moe shows that other cities use it across the country even Dresden uses the same anthem. Just as the townspeople were about to riot [[Joe Quimby, Sr.]] tells everyone that it was former mayor Hans Moleman who wrote it [[Lenny Leonard]] and [[Groundskeeper Willie]] holds him. As the townspeople confront Hans he admits that when he was mayor of Springfield, he purchased the anthem from a salesman who was selling it to half the cities in north America, he thought no one would find out because no one from Springfield ever travels. Moleman is later tied up and sent off on a horse into the desert. Lisa explains to Mayor Quimby that she can write a new anthem. Pharrell Williams appears and offers to write a new anthem but since Lisa offered first, he is also tied up and sent off on a horse.
