Do you think the man who created the simpsons has GOT to be a queen fan?
| foxxy_moron 10.01.2005 04:50 |
I was watching the simpons tonight and Homer was lying on a bean bag drinking beer and there was a poster of A Night At The Opera on the wall. and the song goes "...I stayed up listening to Queen" And then Homer was in the boat that time singing "I am the champion" Then there was that time when he was singing "Big spender" on the table. What other Queen related simpsons things can you think of? |
| Serry... 10.01.2005 05:00 |
"Big Spender" is not Queen song. And I don't think the man has to be Queen fan! |
| Sebastian 10.01.2005 05:03 |
Big Spender isn't a proper Queen connection. Queen is just one of the bands who covered it. Simpsons have three Queen connections so far, I think: Champions in the one with that huge fish (General Sherman?), the Opera poster, and You're My Best Friend in one recent (=mediocre) episode. But that doesn't mean Matt is a Queen fan. Those references are put there just in a way that he demonstrates he notices Queen existed, as well as references to tons of other artists and actors/actresses, political celebrities and film characters are included. Btw some Friends/Queen connections: the message in the answerphone of they guys in TOW Ross Moves In ("we will we will call-you-back"), and We Are The Champions at the piano bar in TOW Monica Sings. |

Yeah i guess. But also maybe he made homer a queen fan? cuz it almost seems right aye??? even tho queen didnt invent big spender, i still think of them when i hear it and i must say, homer sung it well:) even if it was hey big spender dig this blender rainbow suspenders we surrender do do do do SPEEEEEEEEND some dough at table 3 do do do do do do |

Homer wasn't a Queen fan. He stayed up listening to Queen, but that doesn't say anything. I listen a lot to Blink 182 but that doesn't make me a fan. When I'm drunk I play some Shakira songs in the guitar but I'm not a fan, and I often watch Bangles videos as well, and it doesn't mean anything. Those girls are hot. I mean, were. Now they're in their forties and their good looks haven't been dimminished ... they just dissapeared. |

I don't think Matt Groening even writes the Simpsons any more. I don't think has since pretty early on in its life. |
| foxxy_moron 10.01.2005 06:28 |
allright allright i guess i just liked the idea of homer being a queen fan. |
| Scirocco1977 10.01.2005 11:34 |
I'm sure though Homer was a Queen fan in his younger days... I would not stay up listening to a band if I weren't a fan. Also, the poster of A Night At the opera on the wall indicates that. I would not want a poster on my wall of something I would not cherish... So, YES, Homer (at least) was a Queen fan. |

It's all here :) link |
| foxxy_moron 10.01.2005 17:40 |
ohhh thank god for people who agree with me :) although you are right about the poster thing. that just rules!! i love it... |
| deleted user 10.01.2005 18:24 |
Thats one of the things that makes the simpsons so great in my opinion. All the Queen songs. |
| foxxy_moron 10.01.2005 19:59 |
its a good show anyway. really funny most of the time!!! ~Phoney Mc Ring Ring ROCKS~ Do does John (outta the simpsons) John: Hehee Waylon, I'd like you to meet the simpsons Waylon: I know the simpsons, so this is your sick mother? John: Dont do this to me waylon. Thats gotta be one of the coolest episodes. |
| Las Palabras De Amor 10.01.2005 20:08 |
Well anyone playing We are the Champions or We Will Rock You doesn't really have to be a Queen fan because like Brian said People have forgotten that someone actually wrote those songs. They just became such anthems that I don't think many people know that they are Queen songs. hahah funny site btw. That's cool Brian May is a Simpson's fan. And it's cool Matt G is a Queen fan. Another reason the guy rules ::bows down:: |
| foxxy_moron 10.01.2005 20:56 |
i always knew that queen sung we will rock u and we are da champions... always. same with bohemian rhapsody. my little brother singing that song is really really funny. he doesnt know the words and he keeps saying "im just a tall boy nobody loves me" |

THE SIMPSON'S CREATER I'M SURE LIKE THE QUEEN MUSIC, BUT NOT A FAN OF THE GROUP. BY THE WAY, ANYONE SEE THE HEADLONG VIDEO. tHERE BRIAN MAY, SHOWS A T SHIRT OF BART SIMPSON. |
| Lord Blackadder 11.01.2005 17:06 |
They have used WATC and WWRY on several occasions, even mixed up into one song (we are the champions, we are the champions, no time for losers, 'coz we are the champions of the world. Mud on your face, you big disgrace) whilst drukenly singing in the shower. Also You're My Best Friend, referenced Queen many times. And had mentioned 'Another One Bites The Crust'. And probably much, much more. Lets see Bri and Rog on The Simps! |
| foxxy_moron 11.01.2005 18:16 |
I'd love to see them on the simpsons!!! |
| Panza Pedraza - FER 11.01.2005 20:21 |
Hey, about this im not pretty sure cos Simpsons episodes are translated into spanish. But in that old chapter when Homer made the guy who stops the cannonball with his stomache( the parody of loolapalooza, or whatever), i guess he sang a little bit of "good old fashioned lover boy", or at least he mentioned the song. The translation in spanish was something like that: - Homer: bueno pero yo soy como dice la cancion , yo soy "un buen amante a la antigua". And re translating this: - Homer: well, as the song says: i'm a good old fashioned lover boy" This could be one possibitly, at least the translators love Queen as well. |
| foxxy_moron 11.01.2005 20:22 |
hey i have that episode on my computer! ill watch it now |
| Mercuryworks 11.01.2005 20:28 |
where did you get you simpsons episode and is it download or bittorent |
| foxxy_moron 11.01.2005 20:32 |
i bought the dvd and put it onto the computer. in the ep. i have, he doesnt say anything about a good old fashioned lover boy. maybe it got misinterpreted. |
| Mercuryworks 11.01.2005 20:34 |
oh |
| Mercuryworks 11.01.2005 20:37 |
Matt though definately is a beatles fan you got the yellow album, the beatles thing, and marge loves ringo and Harrison appears. but as for a queen fan he might be one and should get brian or roger or john? in a episode |

Yes, clearly Homer was a Queen fan, and yes, listening to them DOES SAY SOMETHING! |

| goinback 12.01.2005 09:23 |
I could see a guest appearance, but I'm not sure a whole show would go over that great in the US. Unless there's a lot of publicity about the tour, in which case this would be the best time to do it. |
| foxxy_moron 12.01.2005 20:04 |
yeah. i never understood why some americans just never clocked on... QUEEN IS GOOD MUSIC!! |
| Panza Pedraza - FER 12.01.2005 21:55 |
Foxxy_moron, did you see the episode that i told you?. The scene that i describd before is closing the end of that episode and Homer is driving the car with his family i guess. |
| foxxy_moron 12.01.2005 23:17 |
i will actually watch it again... but other than that i dont recall it |
| Queenie_Queen 16.01.2007 15:23 |

What other Queen related simpsons things can you think of?The Simpsons have a ton of references to MANY bands, not just Queen. For the J. Geils Band, 'Freeze Frame' was played on an organ. And someone in it said "My wife slept with J. Geils" |
