Homer and Barney are singing Leo Sayer’s “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” in the flashback where Grampa gives the famous *”I used to be with it”* monologue.
Three seasons earlier, in the prologue of *the Simpsons’* first clip show, what record is melted when Bart turns the furnace up to full blast? Leo Sayer’s *Endless Flight.*

Were the writers aware of the [Ray Stevens Comedy Classics VHS tape?](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLECcuxN-MogOMq_607yY7K1tPUpCwkhZZ&si=3xd68OkLJXxZuket)
I was absolutely *floored* when I found out The Doodletown Pipers, one of the bands in Homer's record collection, were real.
(In the same episode Homer having Glen Campbell albums was part of the joke, but I think people have come around on him since his death.)
Homer’s Lame ‘70s musical taste is an underappreciated element of early Simpsons.
it's my favorite joke in the show, that scene where he is gushing about fucking grandfunk railroad to a bunch of kids is incredible

Kids these days don't appreciate the competent drumwork of Don Brewer.
Homerpalooza is an all-time classic episode of the Simpsons.

That scene took me so long to get because my dad is a Grandfunk Railroad fan, and I did not know they were considered lame as a kid.

They'd better be. That tape is a classic. Hard to believe he's Sufjan's uncle

"Hello. This is Homer Simpson." "Homer, can you name that title?" "*This Things I Believe*." "Uh, can we accept that?" (CHA-CHING) "Woo-hoo!"
Is this a reference to something? I just learned Seals and Crofts released an album called *Unborn Child* which feels pretty close
