Quick question. Does anyone know if the song played at the end of "Papa's Got a Brand New Badge" is for real? If so, what is the name of it.

It's the theme song to 'The Sopranos'. If you didn't know that, then you missed out on the funniest part of the entire episode; the sequence where Fat Tony is driving and that song is playing is a dead-on parody of the opening sequence of 'The Sopranos'. Even Fat Tony's "Jersey muscle" are characters from The Sopranos (except Johnny Tightlips).

'The Sopranos' is a really great show, BTW, even though this season isn't great so far. You should try to catch an episode and watch the opening sequence-- it will make the Simpsons parody that much funnier to you.

Not having watched the Sopranos, I wondered what that was about, too.

They did pass a sign giving Springfield's population though - 30,720 IIRC.

all that did was remind you that the story was lazy and recycled

although i did like the "Jingle Bells what?" "Aww, everytime me and Santa get together it's a disaster!" bit

Plus, I love any episode showing the Simpsons coping with heat.

I have to disagree - I thought it was one of the best of S13.

"Sopranos" watcher or not, the funniest part of the parody is Krusty coming out of the 99c Porn Store.
