Revision as of 12:19, February 21, 2010
The Garbage Man is a song that appeared in "Trash of the Titans". It's sung by Homer, U2, some garbagemen and various residents of Springfield. The song showcases all of the "crazy promises" that Homer made when he ran to be garbage commissioner.
The song is a parody of "The Candy Man" song from the film, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".
The music was written by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by Ian Maxtone-Graham. Both the original version and a demo version of the song can be heard as the twentieth and fifty-first tracks, respectively, on the album Go Simpsonic with the Simpsons.
Trivia
- Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street makes a cameo in this song, seeing as how he likes trash and lives in a garbage can, his appearance makes sense.
- The woman working at the backstage of U2 is a reference to the film THX1138.
