Track listing. The album features the following tracks: Reception. Dalton Ross of "Entertainment Weekly" praised the CD, calling it his obsession of the week and saying "The Simpsons ... is still capable of short bursts of genius. And many of them are collected on the show's latest musical collection, "The Simpsons Testify". Listening to the CD reminds you what made you fall in love with the show in the first place: the random cameos (David Byrne to Weird Al Yankovic), pop-culture parodies ("Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl"), and knowing, self-deprecating humor ("They'll Never Stop the  Simpsons"). My personal favorite is "Ode to Branson," which pays tribute to all the washed-up celebrities of yesteryear. ... So even if the show is no longer appointment viewing in your house, this CD definitely warrants another trip to Springfield."
