This cover was ok, but fails to live up to the original, as with so many covers of great songs. The attention "Uptown Girl" recieves has recently been bolstered by the Westlife cover of it in the UK in 2001. His career had been quite successful over the previous ten years to this point, but "Uptown Girl" really caught the attention of the mass record buying public. " Uptown Girl" is probably Billy Joel's best-known song, taken from his highly successful 1983 album " An Innocent Man". After the cops set their batons to "stun", Homer tells Munchie and Seth to sing their rebel song, and breaks into a slow, heartfelt rendition of Uptown Girl. Later on in the episode, after Homer uses Munchie and Seth's marijuana crop to complete their organic juice order, the cops come to bust them. Munchie and Seth are listening to the staple 60's acid music when Homer asks if he can put on something that will really blow their minds. When they reluctantly agree, they pile into Munchie's Saturn and hit the road. He convinces Munchie and Seth to go on an old-fashion freak-out with him. They proceed to tell him about how his mother took him to Woodstock.Īfter that, Homer decides to get back to his hippy roots. When he arrives there, he's met by Munchie ( George Carlin) and Seth ( Martin Mull). In "D'oh-in' in the Wind", when Homer is filling out a form and realizes he doesn't know his middle name, Abe (grandpa) takes him to the hippy commune that Homer's mother ran away to.
Uptown Girl is also Homer Simpson's rebel song.
