It took 27 seasons, but the town of Springfield (state unknown) has finally gotten the anthem it deserves.
On Sunday’s “The Simpsons” — which features “The Voice” star Pharrell Williams — Bart, Lisa and friends debut the town’s new theme song, “Why Springfield, Why Not?” with the title doubling as the chorus.
The tune is catchy, though lyrics like “We’ve only had a hurricane once/We haven’t had a circus fire in months” might not do a heck of a lot to grow the area’s census numbers.
And then there’s this: “Sure, our cops are easily bought/and our dentists are all self-taught,” which isn’t gonna headline a tourism brochure either.
