Popularity rank 11 #76. The Future Is Not In Cloning

November 18, 2005

JOEL: Sir, your friend at GeniTECH has concluded cloning bands to create hits just isn't practical. For one thing, there's a 20-year lag time while the clones mature.

BART: Well... I guess it was sort of crazy, wasn't it? To think the future of music lay in human cloning?
JOEL: Heh... yes, sir.

BART: When clearly, from what you're saying, the future of music lies in a combination of cloning and time travel.

BART: Now, here's a number of a guy I know at Wormhole Depot...
JOEL: Sir, how do you know these people?

BART: This new Jumpstart Malady single, Joel, I hate it. HATE IT. Sounds too... too SPLUMPFY.
JOEL: Oh... OK, I... I, uh, what... what does that... MEAN?

JOEL: I... (sigh) yeah, yes, sure. It's... it's fixed.
BART: Good.

May 24, 2005

JOEL: The song is fresh; it's hip. But it still has those great Malady hooks.

BART: Joel... come on, Joel. Tell me what I want to hear.

JOEL: (sigh) And yes, there will be titties in the video....
BART: JACKPOT!
