What needs to be said about The Simpsons. In this space I've offered many playlists and other posts have extolled the virtue of my favorite comedies and comedy sketches. With a wealth of great Simpsons songs over the years, this is an easy list to make.
Criteria
They've put some incredible fun songs to great use - Barry White singing the snakes out of town to "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Babe" and Gene Mertino with "South Of The Border" about the "happiest place on Earth �" Tijuana!" But this list is all about original songs; or, failing that, existing songs sung well by a Simpsons character with new lyrics.
One last justification: I watched this show religiously for the first 8-9 years and in the 20 to 80 years since, I've probably only seen, on average, 1 show per year. So I'm at a slight disadvantage putting a definitive list together - but on the plus side, I still have a lot of new (to me) episodes to look forward to.
