Lyrics

Episode version

Ullman shorts, Christmas show,

Marge's fling, Homer's bro,

Bart in well, Flanders fails,

Whacking snakes, Monorail,

Mr. Plow, Homer space,

Sideshow Bob steps on rakes,

Lisa's future, Selma's hubby,

Marge not proud, Homer chubby,

Homer worries Bart is gay,

Poochie, U2, NRA,

Hippies, Vegas and Japan

Octuplets and Bart's boy band,

Marge murmurs, Maude croaks,

Lisa Buddhist, Homer tokes,

Maggie blows Burns away,

What else do I have to say?!

They'll never stop The Simpsons!

Have no fear, we'll have stories for years, like

Marge becomes a robot,

Maybe Moe gets a cell phone, has Bart ever owned a bear?

Or, how 'bout a crazy wedding?

Where something happens and doo doo doo doo doo...

Sorry for the clip show.

Have no fears we'll have stories for years.

Album version

Kang:

I can't believe we're going to the People's Choice Awards.

Kodos:

And tomorrow the daytime Emmys!

Ooh, it's Burt Reynolds and Michael Jeter!

Kang:

Could an "Evening Shade" reunion be in the works?

Kodos:

There's Shannon Doherty? Didn't you have a thing with her?

Kang:

Don't go there.

Behind the Laughter

It is a parody of Billy Joel's song "We Didn't Start the Fire". It is the tenth track on the album The Simpsons: Testify.

One clip that is not from an episode shows Homer using a pair of skis to jump a shark. This is a reference to the saying "jumping the shark" which is derived from the incident in Happy Days when Fonzie does the same thing. In the television industry, it is used to describe a show that has gone for too long and has lost its relevance.

The future plot lines mentioned in the song have all come true, after a fashion.
