10 Best Songs From The Simpsons

6. We Put The Spring In Springfield

Back in fifth season of the four-fingered yellow beings, Bart is forced to work at a boring looking old house as punishment for breaking one of its gargoyles. Of course, this being a cartoon and not sounding like much of a plot for the next 20 minutes, it turns out to be a burlesque house - much to Bart’s delight. But after an angry mob turn up to knock down La Maison Derriere, Homer starts to sing about the “heart and soul of Springfield” with the house’s employees and patrons, including Mayor Quimby and Reverend Lovejoy’s dad.

We Put The Spring In Springfield actually won an Emmy for Outstanding Music And Lyrics, and the episode itself Bart After Dark brought us the Grandpa swiftly exiting .gif that you simply cannot escape on social media.
