Homer and Marge

Homer and Marge is a parody song sung by "Weird Al" Yankovic for Homer in the episode "Three Gays of the Condo". The song that it is parodying is John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane," a song that, ironically, Mellencamp initially turned "Weird Al" down for on a track on his first album originally titled "Chuck and Diane" but became the "Buckingham Blues". Usually, "Weird Al" writes his own parody lyrics, but in this song, the parody lyrics were written by Matt Warburton. It is the sixteenth track on the album The Simpsons: Testify. It is also included in Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic as the thirteenth track on the bonus album Medium Rarities.
==Lyrics.==
:"Weird Al":
:Here's a song I wrote for you.
:Little ditty 'bout Homer and Marge,

:Oh yeah, they say love goes on,
:Long after the grilled cheese sandwich is gone.
===Reprise===
Note: Originally, the final lyrics for the reprise were "Oh yeah, we've got time to fill; why don't you go pee before King of the Hill?". The lyrics were changed to Weird Al acknowledging that he had fun even as a cameo character after King of the Hill changed time slots
:"Weird Al":
:That's the story 'bout Homer and Marge,
:Two folks I helped out for a nominal charge.
:After Homer went gay, they patched up their schism,
:But the dude never dealt with his alcoholism.
:"Weird Al" sayin',
:Oh, yeah, the credits go on
:Long after the viewer's interest is gone.
:Oh, yeah, "Weird Al" had fun on this show,
:Even if it was just a brief cameo.
