"Smoke Yourself Thin" Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi

Sunday afternoon we go up to John's with a lot of beer in time to watch the Simpsons
It was a really good episode about love always ending in tragedy,
Except, of course, for Marge and Homer.
It was quite moving at the end and to tell you the truth my eyes were a bit damp.

Arab Strap - The First Big Weekend.

"Itchy & Scratchy come runnin down the alley, if i had a son i'd be good to your daddy" (probably not the right lyric, sounds odd)

The Charlatans 'North Country Boy'

two that spring immediately to mind are from princeton's own noisefuxors big whiskey:

"bloated museum of treachery" cd
"who needs money when we got feathers"

they're kind of obscure references, though, the first being said by mr. burns to homer in a paranoiac, hallucinatory state and the second by a couple of laughing hobos under a bridge.

those last ones are excellent - the more obscure the references the better :)

Robbie Williams had a band called "Tipsy McStagger" at one point, didn't he?

Oh, if we need to explain the reference: "Smoke Yourself Thin" was one of Troy McLure's self-help tapes.

Sean Ryder sounds like Grampa Simpson these days.

A friend of mine sometimes goes by the name DJ Floorpie when he's spinning. Probably doesn't count though.

J Xaverre also did "...On The Street (In Your Mind)".

Chumbawamba's Anarchy has a few samples thrown in to one of their instrumentals. "Well, judging by his outlandish attire, he's some sort of free-thinking anarchist." "I'll call security, sir."

Liquid Tractor House had a song called "I'll Slit Your Wrists (at Nintendo)"

Simpsons references in ILx users handles... ta da!

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 18:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I just read that back and it sounds awafully obscure. What I'm trying to say is that my handle is a bastadised Simpsons reference.
