What episode has Lisa saying "More, More, More"

Anyone know this or why she's saying that?

Also who does the voice for the "smart aleck laborer," its the same voice Lingo (the linguistic robot) uses.

It's not from an episode, but rather an interview Yeardley Smith did for an Australian talk show. (She was promoting "Bart vs. Australia (2F13)," which was about to air in that country for the first time.)

The host asked Smith if sounding just like Lisa Simpson killed the mood whenever she was trying to be romantic with someone. Her answer was, "Actually, you wouldn't believe how many people have come up to me and said, [slightly deeper voice] 'This is my fantasy, to be in bed with Lisa Simpson and have her say, 'Oh, more, more, more!'' [audience laughter] What is the matter with you people? [audience laughter] This is sick!"

This became a semi-infamous sound bite for a while.

I'm pretty sure that's Hank Azaria. [looks it up] Yup, it's him.

Sure Smith didn't really actually sah "moan, moan, moan" (like Billy Idol, I think it is)????

[The long of it]

I never believed in the theory that loving your country meant never criticizing your country. What makes America special is that you aren't just allowed to oppose the government, but that (until recently) you were practically expected to do so. Just a few days ago, I was irritated by a letter to the local paper claiming the press should have downplayed the Abu Gharib prisoner-abuse story, and just "let the government handle things." Never mind that the only reason for the government investigation was that the press broke the story nationally.

So, I was looking forward for "Bart-Mangled Banner," which aims to skewer the hyper-patriotism that washed over the country in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And yet, I find myself a bit disappointed. While I agree with the show's central point -- patriotism does not require blind allegiance -- the satire surrounding it was a little too exaggerated for its own good. When Bart accidentally moons the American flag, the entire town moves in lockstep to alienate the Simpson family. Soon, the story goes national, and the entire town of Springfield is shunned. Later, the family is imprisoned in a "reeducation" camp. The individual jokes aren't bad, and they all have some basis in reality, but the family's instant pariah-hood seems heavy-handed and almost unjustified. Usually, satire works best when it's a subtle exaggeration of reality, as in "Two Cars in Every Garage, Three Eyes on Every Fish (7F01)." Watching that episode one thinks, "That's not too far from the truth." While watching "Bart-Mangled Banner," when I wasn't busy feeling sorry for the Simpson family, I kept thinking to myself, "Oh, really? I hardly think things are that bad." And indeed, they're not. "Banner" might have felt more on-target a year or two ago, when Congress was renaming french fries, "freedom fries." Today, the President's approval rating hovers between 60 and 50 percent, depending on who and when you ask, and when the Abu Gharib story broke, most people disapproved of our soldiers' actions, not the prisoners'. Dissent may not yet be entirely in fashion, but it is still alive in America. And this makes the satire in "Banner" look more like ranting than a subversive skewering of The Man.

I believe that's Blondie, not the Pretenders.

You are correct, Sir. That is Blondie.

She wasn't/isn't a true blond you know.

Blondie was the name of the *group* of course, not the singer.

They had a #1 here as recently as 1999 with 'Maria' - did the US pick up on that one?

That was the era when we exported our best music to you - unlike now, when you inflict your naff R&B & Rap on us... :)

I so I guess no one here's ever seen The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly here huh? ;)

Andrew S. Burns

At least no-one noticed my accidental implication that Blondie were British. :)

Paul Hyett wrote in message news:...

As far as I'm concerned, the British can have them. If you're man enough, that is. ;)

20 years ago I'd have taken up that offer - when I was 18 & Debbie Harry 38... :)

But, alas, she is not 38 any more and unfortunately you are no longer 18. Same twenty year difference, but yet so different.

Thanks for the confirmation, and the respectful title. On principle, though, the title I prefer is "Ma'am".

Yeah, I know, but I didn't remember that until after I had made the post. (I hate it when that happens.)

I must be getting old and senile. I always thought that was a Debby Harry rather than a Chrissy Hynde tune.

Again.

It was Blondie (lead singer Debbie Harry).

He said he came to the country illegally. But that's not true either, as he came on a student visa. He _stayed_ in the country illegally.

Maybe Springf...err, Libertyville is on the west coast in this episode.

------- In the New York skyline they were sure to include the Empire State Building, but it just isn't the same without the WTC.

------- Or, the previous episode reference of Homer with a hundred cigarettes in his mouth, which is the photo used by Channel 6 when Homer was chosen as the Monorail conductor.

------- When Springfield Elementary was moved from Missouri, that must've been an extremely long time ago!

just for the record, 90% of the prisoners in Abu Ghraib are there "on suspicion", not because they have actually committed any crimes.

It's hard to tell the first time it appears (when they reveal that they were on Alcatraz), although the view looks correct, with Angel Island to the left and Treasure Island to the right. The second time, when the boat appears, the pyramid is right along the bay coast, which is incorrect (it's right about where Pier 39 shopping/entertainment center would be).

I missed the December 25 reference, but if it was in Springfield, then it must have been "an unseasonably warm December 25" (just as "I Love Lisa" was "an unseasonably warm February 14", as mentioned in "Another Simpsons Clip Show"), and if it was in San Francisco, it virtually never snows in that area (except on mountaintops).

Wasn't AMC bought out by Chrysler, which is pretty much owned by Daimler now? Not exactly American any more.

Watch him ask for an October 29 (the last Friday before the election) release date.

Originally, he appeared as himself, first as part of Franken & Davis, and later promoting the 1980s as the "Al Franken decade" (but as this was during the years "when SNL wasn't very good", nobody seems to remember).

Also, German Shepherd dogs are still called Alsatians in England, after being renamed for a similar reason. There's a precedent for France's disdain for American military actions as well; a bombing raid against Libya from England in an attempt to kill Qadafi had to go around France as the French wouldn't let the planes fly over the country. (It turns out that they wanted an all-out strike against Libya, not just on one target, but that part tends to be forgotten...)
