The Simpsons - Were Talkin' Softball [HQ + MP3]

[@gutz1981]

I love Burns's cliche serious coach knee stance. Considering all crap that team went to to win and his attitude, it is the perfect image of him in this photo.

[@toddbiesel4288]

Well, Mr Burns had done it The power plant had won it With Roger Clemens clucking all the while Mike Scoscia's tragic illness made us smile While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile [We're talkin' soft-ball From Maine to San Diego Talkin' soft-ball Mattingly and Canseco Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw Steeeve Sax and his run-in with the law We're talkin' Ho-mer Ozzie and the Straw]

Thanks so much for this!

"Homer at the Bat" was the very first Simpsons' episode I ever saw. It was such a great spoof of so many things, and it hooked me. "You! You charlatan! I'm going to report you to the American Hypnological Society!" "But I did a goood job, a gooood job..." "Well, I suppose it's not your fault. You did a good job!"

[@hankjwimbleton8043]

[@MagnumP88]

This song.. FINALLY. After years of years of searching. I remember parts of this song on and off, and it's never gotten out of my head. Thank goodness I grew up watching this. Sundays were the SHIT way back when. I loved looking forward to new Simpsons episodes. 24 going on 6.. lol

[@zerodas]

It makes me so happy this song exists.

[@Spiral87]

Best simpsons song. End of.

[@YukoCute]

You know this episode came out 3 years before Darryl started having major problems with his life, such as with the drugs, cancer and misdemeanors. And in the episode you could see darryl crying several times, its kind of sad that no one reached out to him since he obviously had and still is fighting against clinical depression. No one saw noticed the signs and its sad when i think about it that it could have gone better for him

[@SmarkusAurelius]

He was crying in the episode because he was playing a character.

[@MrNathansorrenti]

[@BlazBling]

From Wikipedia: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a 1908 Tin Pan Alley song by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer which has become the unofficial anthem of baseball, although neither of its authors had attended a game prior to writing the song. The song (chorus only) is traditionally sung during the seventh-inning stretch of a baseball game

[@thejackbull210]

My all time favorite Simpsons episode. Simply classic!

[@September2004]

According to this episode's Wikipedia entry (so take it for what you will), this song is a parody of 'Talkin' Baseball' and the person who wrote that song (Terry Cashman) performed this one and stated that: "Cashman having "Talkin' Softball" requested more often than "Talkin' Baseball"."

[@DaftPunkVision]

jessc1979 haha thanks for the info!

[@nuclearbugman]

Everyone says they miss the old simpsons and so do I, but at least we can be happy that they gave us 10 (8 in some people's opinion) years of gold that will be remembered forever while the crap that poses as the Simpsons nowadays will be forgotten the week after it airs. That's not bad going by anyone's standards.

[@alkazarish]

Thank you very much!

[@MidwestMachete]

Even though this song is a parody.. It makes me emotional about the classic Simpsons years - I'm so tied to this show, I even try to LIKE the new episodes out of loyalty. When the Simpsons die, a part of me will.

[@400KrispyKremes]

There's still hope for that then. I've been waiting on that one for years.

[@theBaron0530]

I got into both shows because of those episodes. Just coincidence, but it worked out that way. This was the first "Simpsons" episode I saw, and the two-part "Seinfeld" with Keith Hernandez was the first episode I ever saw. Got hooked both times.

[@Bleofuse]

Quite possibly the best episode of all time.

[@Paiste402]

now that ive grown up and heard the original tune, i cant believe how well they covered this track. makes it all the more hilarious!

@Paiste402 The same guy performed it as Talkin' Baseball. Terry Cashman. The Simpsons writers probably helped with the lyrics, but if it sounds like Talkin' Baseball it's probably because it is Terry Cashman. That episode had a lot of guest stars from baseball. It's a classic.

[@ViolenziaDomestica]

@raidanknigge It's a remake of Terry Cashman's "Talkin' Baseball" :)

[@nightfly016]

Probably so - the song originally ran over the closing credits, which showed clips of the players mentioned. I'm guessing Fox would have it pulled in a cold minute.

[@89cheapmonday]

I liked how both Simpsons and Seinfeld name-dropped similar baseball players during this time, although I was far too young to fully understand, I do now

How'd the Simpsons pull this off? It was still fringe. Brilliant.

[@jmorrison230582]

Patience and hard work. They had to wait for most of the players to come into LA for a road series at the Dodgers or Angels, and record their lines then. They also had to rewrite Canseco's part because he was a complete jerk.

[@6CTCEL]

@OGCapsLOC its based off the song talkin baseball, they're even sung by the same guys

@Imaweasel1 Season 4 was also really good, I have season 1 - 7 on DVD. I haven't watched much of the newest series but some of it is a hit and miss. It's the same with all TV shows really.

[@mercury82]

Best Simpsons episode hands down. Only Schwartzwelder can come up with something that irreverent and nonsensical and still so funny. "Lord Palmerston" "Pitt the Elder" "LORD PALMERSTON!" "PITT THE ELDER!" "OK, Boggs, you asked for it."
