Talk:The Homer They Fall

message: "...allowing the opponent to land punches. Weathering the blows, the boxer lures the opponent into expending energy whilst conserving his/her own. If successful, the attacking opponent will eventually tire, creating defensive flaws which the boxer can exploit." This sounds like a description of this Simpsons episode, except it's taken directly from the Boxing article, from the "Rope-a-Dope" strategy as used by Muhammad Ali. Shawnc 05:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Anyone know the song played at the end as clips of moe doing good deeds are shown? Dermo69
-It's a Barbra Steisand song (well, she made it popular) called "People", but in the episode it's performed by a woman named Sally Stevens. I would have put it in the article, but the psychotic edit Nazis don't let anyone edit "their" page, even though it's an easily verifiable fact.
And also, as stated below, the music during the off-color montage definately is based on The Flower Duet, from the opera Lakme. Once again, the edit Nazis have abstained from including this obvious fact, because they adhere to the words of the writers and cast, even if the cast and writers aren't wholly aware themselves.
:We are not editing Nazis... The fact is you've defeated yourself with your argument. If the writers and cast arn't aware of something, it means that it was never intended to be a reference to that, it was written to be that and therefore it is not a fact that it is a reference to it. And also if you have info that is verifiable as you have said, then feel free to add it in, baring in mind that tis article is Good Article Standard. Gran2 20:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Just a heads up that the article's references numbers 4, 5 and 12 aren't actually working.  I tried to fix this myself, but not being familiar with the page, struggled to find what they were supposed to be linked to. Frickative 20:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This is not the only time we see Jimbo's father.  Jimbo's father can be seen in the father son picnic crowd in Ice Cream of Margie (with the Light Blue Hair). It at first looks like Jimbo and what maybe his son but after closer look it is definitely Jimbo's father.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClockCleaner (talk • contribs) 22:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anybody have any sources linking this episode to the historic Rumble in the Jungle, as to me, the simmilarities are blatant. From the presense of Don King (Sweet) organising the match to Homer's tactic of absorbing blows and tiring Tatum out, this episode pretty much mirrors the Ali v. Foreman fight. Of course, Ali was somewhat more eloquent and skilled than Homer. grarap (talk) 19:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
