Character Information
|
Frank Sinatra (1915–1998) was an American actor and pop singer. He was best known for being a founding member of the Rat Pack and for his hit recordings of the 1960s such as "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way".
History
Bart answers the door to a man who has "a special delivery for Homer Simpson". Bart, expecting a package under Homer's name, says "that's me". The man punches Bart in the nose, remarking "don't write no more letters to Mr. Sinatra".[1]
When Homer said that in showbiz, what goes up, must go down, Frank Sinatra was one of the names Bart and Lisa mentioned that flawed this, along with Bob Hope, Dean Martin and Tom Jones.[2]
When Disco Stu visited Praiseland to get a miracle from the statue of Maude Flanders, he had a vision of Heaven as a huge discothèque. Stu was surprised to see Sinatra there, but Sinatra told him, "For me, this is Hell. Ya dig, pally?"[3]
Luigi mentioned to Kent Brockman and Rachel Maddow that Mario's restaurant had a picture of Frank Sinatra signed by Frank Sinatra, Jr., but the frame covered the "Jr." part.[4]
Behind the Laughter
- Songs recorded by Sinatra have appeared in other episodes of the show:
- "Summer Wind" (sung by Martin Prince, Jr.) is played at the end of "Bart of Darkness".
- "South of the Border" is played over the closing credits of "Kamp Krusty". However, the singer is not Sinatra, but a sound-a-like.
