Fall Out Boy Turns Yellow

Though I haven’t watched a new episode of The Simpsons in a few years-–a fact that makes me more sorta sad as owner of the first 10 seasons on DVD-–I’m excited to hear that the show is keeping the tradition of guest musicians recording alternate takes of (Oscar nominee) Danny Elfman’s seminal theme song. Joining the ranks of NRBQ, Green Day, Sonic Youth, and Yo La Tengo (whose version I loved) is today’s Live With Regis and Kelly musical act Fall Out Boy. The preview clip sounds like they thrashed through the song while overlaying pretty vocal harmonies on top… kind of like they do with all of their songs.

Seeing as we’re talking Matt Groening-related media here (haha, his Web site remains under construction a decade after “launch”), it’s always helpful to revisit Life In Hell‘s list of Forbidden Words. I still use some of them way too much—in fact, looking at this list, I was thoroughly shamed by the A’s (“awesome,” “And I’m Like…”).
