sal Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 So Bart is in juvie, and they are showing all the inmates an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon. At the start of the cartoon, Bart gives a sigh of relief, and says "Ahhhh.....cartoons! America's only original art form." He then pauses for a few seconds, looks at the kid next to him and says, "Well, I would count jazz, but it sucks." Quote

DTMX Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Or how about the episode when Lisa adopted a cat named "Coltrane", and when she played some Trane on her sax for the cat, the cat jumped out of the window and fell to its death? What song was she playing - something from Intersteller Space? Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 My son loves the old Tom and Jerry cartoons. I can't wait to show him Itchy and Scratchy when he's older. Speaking of jazz on the Simpsons, I can't stand the version of jazz that Lisa and Bleeding Gums Murphy play. It's the kind of stuff that people who like the Manhattan Transfer would like. Yuck. Quote

I came up with the term 19 years ago, it's strange how "they" came up with a term like smooth jazz to sell such watered down blah. They need more fiber, I think... Quote

It's the kind of stuff that people who like the Manhattan Transfer would like. Yuck. Me three! No wonder Bart thinks it sucks! Could you imagine Lisa getting into playing 45 minute versions of "My Favorite Things" ala Coltrane. I could just picture her being in the background of the whole episode blowing away... and she'd still be going as the credits rolled. Okay, maybe if she loses the Jimmy Garrison bass solo, she might be able to wrap it up as the show ends. Quote
take5 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Other jazz on the Simpsons included an episode where Homer hired a private investigator to find out about Lisa's hobbies in an attempt to become a better father. He learned that her favorite album is Birth of the Cool and was playing the record for her. Another episode included Lisa complaining that no one shared her interest in jazz-fusion. Quote
7/4 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Another episode included Lisa complaining that no one shared her interest in jazz-fusion. Yeah, but it's fused with elevator music. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Okay, Birth of the Cool is a great album. I don't really hear it in her playing. My question is: Who picks the jazz for their jazz excursions. I love the Simpsons, but their view of jazz is lacking. I share Lisa's love of some jazz fusion. When I hear her listening to Miles' Jack Johnson or something of that sort, she'll be cool with me. Heck, if she could just play the Fat Albert theme song, I'd give her a . Quote

DatDere Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 There was another recent episode where Bart found a stack of Homer's old "Playdude" magazines. Bart turned the treehouse into a bachelor pad and he and Milhouse were listening to "Miles Davis vol. 1". Milhouse asked "when they would start with singing". Quote

I haven't watched the new episodes in a while.... maybe I should. Quote
take5 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 I just remembered there's another time Homer was insulting jazz by observing it's just music "they make up as they go along. Even I can do it" and then proceeds to sing Mary Had a Little Lamb twice. "That's the same thing, you just replaced 'des' with 'doos'" "Doh!" Quote

Let her grow up a bit and maybe she'd get into some Dolphy. Quote
