We Put the Spring in Springfield

"We Put the Spring in Springfield" is an Emmy-winning song performed during The Simpsons Season 8 episode "Bart After Dark". Homer and Bart witness the townspeople destroying the Masion Derrière, but Homer starts singing how Springfield needs the house. Soon, everyone joins in with the song. Marge arrives soon after to help them destroy the house with a bulldozer, but she didn't hear the song so she doesn't understand that everyone has second thoughts. Marge starts her own song, but she accidentally destroys part of the house. The music was written by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by Ken Keeler. It is the fourth track on the album Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons. It is also featured in the Season 9 clip episode, "All Singing, All Dancing."
