[Marge]
Homie, I tried to tell you how I feel but I can't find the right words. Maybe he can

[Homer]
Weird Al Yankovic?

[Weird Al]
Homer, Marge wrote me about what happened. And as soon as her check cleared, I was on the first reasonably priced flight here

[Homer]
Did you ever get the Parody Songs I sent you??

[Weird Al]
Yes

[Homer]
Which one was better, "Livin' La Pizza Loca" or "Another One Bites the Crust"?

[Weird Al]
They were pretty much the same, Homer

[Homer]
Yeah, like you and Allan Sherman

[Weird Al]
Now here's a song I wrote for you!

[Verse 1]
Little Ditty, about Homer and Marge
Her heart was as big, as his stomach was large
Oh yeah, they say love goes on
Long after the grilled cheese sandwiches is gone

[Homer]
(Laughs) It would take a man made of stone with a funny bone of steel to resist that

[Marge]
Homer, would you at least let me take you out on date?

[Homer]
I don't know, date a chick with kids....

[Lisa]
Dad!

[Homer]
Alright, alright

[Outro]
That's the story, about Homer and Marge
Two folks I helped out for a nominal charge
After Homer went gay, they patched up their schism
But the dude never dealt with his alcoholism, Weird Al saying
Oh yeah, the credits go on
Long after the viewer's interest is gone
Oh yeah, Weird Al had fun on this show
Even it was just a brief cameo

The Simpsons

The Simpsons is quite possibly the most successful television series in history, and one of the very few that have managed to combine a dizzying level of commercial success with an equally high degree of critical acclaim. The show has attracted superlatives throughout its as noted by wikipedia,

it is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated program, and […] the longest-running American primetime, scripted television series.

But these are mere statistics when set next to the quality of its writers, animators, and voice actors. The Simpsons has shown itself to be a breeding ground for the some of the most talented people working in its past roster features Conan O'Brien, John Swartzwelder, Brad Bird, George Meyer, Harry Shearer, Dan Castellaneta, and many many more. Its list of guest stars, meanwhile, is even more forbidding.
