Bart: Can I, Mom? Can I take the job?
Marge: Well --
Homer: Why not? I remember my first after school job. I was in a
band.
[Flashback to Homer wearing many instruments and holding a
guitar]
Hello, everybody. I'm Archie Bell, and I'm also the Drells.
I've got a new song called "Tighten Up," and this is the music
you tighten up with!
[starts playing; everyone leaves, and an organ grinder chides
him]
Giuseppe: Hey, what's-a matter you? You crazy kid, you chasing away my
business-a.
Homer: Buzz off, Giuseppe.
Giuseppe: [to his monkey] A-Pepe, go for the face-a!
[The monkey does so, and Homer falls over and screams]
Yes, son, you can have an electric guitar just like your old
man.
Bart: Dad, I'm asking if I can get a job.
Homer: [condescending] Gig, son. When you're a musician, a job is
called a "gig".
