I don't know (or care) if this was mentioned before, but it is EXTREMELY annoying that while the family (minus Bart) was playing in its band, percussion is heard that no member of the family is seen playing.
WHAT IS THIS NOW??? It obviously was not meant to be some sort of conventional musical piece, rather a sincere expression of appreciation of Bart's absence. In this context I *really* feel that continuity should have been observed.

Are you trying to be funny, or are you really that anal? Was your post a reference to something?

Wilson, once again you have completely missed the point of one of my posts. I will try to explain it to you in words that you can understand.
I was NOT pointing out the inconsistency, and I would not for two reasons: any jackass should have IMMEDIATELY noticed it, and posts of that nature are not welcome at a.t.s from newbies.
If you carefully reread my original post then you will see that I was expressing frustration in light of the PARTICULAR circumstances.

"Particular circumstances"? --Just explain the particular circumstances.

The principal purpose of virtually all music in The Simpsons is to entertain the audience. Occasionally, as in this episode, we have music that serves to demonstrate a point within the storyline itself. Since these instances are more "real" than the other "entertainment" pieces I feel that they should be more realistically done.
Just off the top of my head, other cases of this more real music: Lisa playing her jug when her saxophone is missing (despite that what she played was impossible), Lisa playing with Bleeding Gums Murphy on the bridge, then later the band in the club, OFF playing music in the restaurant after not being able to pay their bill, the organ playing at the church (including In the Garden of Eden), Martin playing the Lute, the family signing "Rudolph" at the end of the Christmas special, and most scenes when Springfield Elementary's band is playing.
If I sat and wasted more time I would come up with more.

Okay, fair enough.
I think the answer to your question is that the writers probably find it amusing to have elements of music that isn't being played by someone - a cartoon cliche.

I used to hate it on "The Partridge Family" when you'd CLEARLY see Tracy playing the triangle. But I never heard it.
Or on "Dick Van Dyke" they'd sing a song and somehow have a whole band backing them up.
In "The Simpsons" case Flanders was obviously playing the drums next door and you heard them but didn't see them.
Kind of like when you hear Darren Hayes singing and then suddenly he's doing the backup vocals too. Like Daniel Jones could've actually bothered to do SOMETHING other than grab half the paycheck

Anyway, last night on "King Of The Hill" - when John Redcorn's band (which consisted of only two guitar players) started to play - you could hear drums. Actually, I think it was two regular/6 string electric guitars...and you could also hear drums and bass. There was no tape player or electronic accompaniment in sight.
The Simpsons is more cartoonish and anything can happen. KOTH is more grounded in reality and that kind of thing is less excusable..
"888eight888"
Sir, you and many others have missed the point of my post entirely. Please see my response to *Ninja*.
I don't regularly watch KOTH, but I think that I would agree with you on this point. In fact, normally I feel that this kind of thing is perfectly fine for The Simpsons.
Percussion? You mean drums? Are you sure? The Tijuana Brass was trumpets, vibes, and those little sandshaker things. Wasn't one of the OFF playing the vibes during the scene? Whoa! The vibes are really the Xylophone! Your favorite instrument, eh, Xyno?

Apologies to Moe, Larry, and Curly. Who are a good example of the curse killing someone several years before the show even came into existence.
