[@Antonio-qm3bi]

Totally agree with all of you... The Simpsons are now tedious and monotonous, the dialogues are like poetry, and they have lost that familiar character that gave them their success... We all felt identified with their characters, we all have aunts like Paty and Selma. Homer is now less stupid, and they have lost so much creativity that they dedicate complete episodes focusing on other characters, taking center stage off the central family...

[@jisims95]

This actually sounds very similar to an APM soundtrack you would hear in Ren and Stimpy or SpongeBob.

I decided to look up why he was let go from the production and it turns out he was having others write the music for him, including his son. The "unauthorized delegation" didn't sit well with the show runners and they decided to replace him.

[@kite9d3]

John Smith 1882? There’s a little skip at the beginning too, 2 or 3 seconds in

[@johnsmith1882-x2i]

@@kite9d3 my mistake!

[@kite9d3]

Haha, so I did some research and I think I figured out why it has the skips at beginning and end. Looks like the only official release of “The Land of Chocolate” song was on a soundtrack called “Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons” in which they muted Homer saying “wow, chocolate, half price!” in the middle of the song, but annoyingly they left in the dialogue at the beginning and end, which overlaps the first and last moments of the music. There are multiple youtube uploads of the song without the dialogue, all with identical skips. Whoever edited it spliced the audio to fill in those parts that were overlapped by dialogue, but they weren’t completely smooth about it, hence the skips. Anyway, we were talking about chocolate?

[@kite9d3]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6WbqGOEebJgars in case you want to see what I mean. Notice that the dialogue ends and begins in the exact spots where the skips are heard in the instrumental version

i geniunely thought this was one of those royalty free production songs that play in cartoons like ren and stimpy or spongebob. Afterall, the simpsons has also used a couple of these kinds of tracks, like in S01E01 when bart gets a tattoo, or when marge sells pretzels in S08E11

And a few more burns and smithers moments, like when they went on that little ‘date’ with the stamps, and one other time I don’t remember

[@ekathe85]

This is based on the overture from "Tucker" by Joe Jackson, which I don't think is nearly as memorable as Alf Clausen's take. It's actually amazing to me (as someone who dabbles on music writing) how some composers can take somebody else's theme and improve on it astronomically.
