[Verse 1: Bart Simpson]
My name is Bart and I am funky
My name is Bart the one and only
I did not come to get around
Let's get this straight let's get it down
I've seen those T-Shirts I've seen that face
I've seen the phony Bart all over the place
That Bart's a bootleg that Bart's a fake
He's out to fool you man he's on the take
But now it's time to take a stand
There's only one Bart dude and I'm the man
My name is Bart and I am funky
My name is Bart the one and only
Hurt me now

[Verse 2: Bart Simpson]
My name is Bart and I am funky
When it comes to funk I ain't no flunky
I'm more than dangerous I am unique
The proto punk the super freak
I ooze ganache that certain flair
I reek of style and several affair
I wrote this song I know you know it
Some dude from Minnesota he came and stole it
But I can't be bought, oh no, I won't be sold
When they made me they tossed the mold
My name is Bart and I am funky
My name is Bart the one and only
Hurt me now
(Ooh)
(Ow Not there, hey)
Hey man don't really hurt me, thats just a figure of speech

[Bridge: Bart Simpson]
Hey Lisa play some horn on my song
Oh yea that's it
Oh no mamma
We'll be jamming
Play it, dig it, get down
Bring it back ooh
There you go? Very bad
Oh Yeah

[Interlude: Bart Simpson + Marge Simpson + Lisa Simpson]
Bart have you done your homework?
Not now mom we're working on my new song
It's not his song mom he stole it from Prince!
Did not!
Did too!
Did not!
Did too!
Did not!
Tell the truth Bart
Alright, alright but I only borrowed it he wasn't using it this week
Well maybe they'll complain about this
Okay

[Verse 3: Bart Simpson]
My name is Bart I'm not so funky
It's still my name Bart, the one and only
I am not Prince or anyone else
When all is said and done I'm just myself
I'm not Nirvana I'm not Lyle Lovett
I'm the underachiever and still proud of it
I know I pull some crazy stuff
Like acting rude, I play too rough
But now I've changed I've seen the light
I'm on the straight and narrow all make it right
My name is Bart I'm not so funky
My name is Bart the one and only
Don't hurt me now...
Do anything, dont hurt me know

[Outro: Bart Simpson]
Bart, get it right I'm Bart my name is Bart

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.
