Revision as of 07:02, April 17, 2010

The Be Sharps were once a band consisting of Homer Simpson, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Seymour Skinner and Chief Wiggum (later replaced by Barney Gumble). They used to perform at Moe's Tavern but then started to perform at Springfield State Prison and The First Church of Springfield in 1985. This then caught the eyes of a man named Nigel. He then suggested they should be a real band and should remove Chief Wiggum because he reminded too much of the Village People. After a failed tryout The Be Sharps heard Barney Gumble's good singing and decided to have him join the band. They then had a concert at The Statue of Liberty and won a Grammy Award. Afterwards they became unpopular, with Barney dating a Japanese conceptual artist, and split up. In their latest act they sang "Baby On Board" on top of Moe's roof.

Products

The Be Sharps also had various products. One was a foam squirter that got recalled because anyone who ate the foam would get poisned and would die. Homer replied "Anyone who ate it deserved to die" Bart accidentally ate it. They also released two albums, one self-titled and the other titled Bigger Than Jesus. The self-titled was seen at the flea market in the beginning.
