The Be Sharps - Baby on Board

[@SpunkyDunk]

Still blows my mind that Homer was actually the one who composed this, at least the episode heavily implies so. Secret genius??

[@niels6190]

Spunky Animations One of Homer’s talents is songwriting, he comes up with a song that wins Lisa a place in a tournament in a few minutes (from “a star is torn”)

[@theknightofhyrule]

Homer always had the ability to write and come up with very detailed pieces. But the newer seasons dumb him down to make him seem like he can’t do anything

[@awsomedragon7220]

@Jhon Smyth yeah, that was in the show, even though it contradicts the simpson gene it still helps make sence of his musical skills.
