The Simpsons - Songs in the Key of Springfield
In 1990, Geffen Records released "The Simpsons Sing the Blues," an ill-conceived pairing of the series' voice actors with various rock "names." The one-time novelty was closer to "Golden Throats" territory than the subversive spirit of the TV show.
"Songs In The Key of Springfield" sounds like a bootleg assembled by a lunatic fanboy, but with better fidelity.

They have the uncanny ability to follow each other through a jam without stepping over one another in the process, which gives the listener the experience to hear not just a guitar lead backed by a rhythm section, but to enjoy independently improvising instrumentals that converge in-synch with the vocals.

 Collecting Simpsons! - Interview: Composer Alf Clausen on "Go Simpsonic"
And after "Songs in the Key of Springfield" came out, some of the fans were lamenting the fact that certain songs were not included on Volume One.
It seems to me we had a Johnny Cash song that was given to me as a model of, "We'd like it to be something like this." But I don't remember which one it was.
I knew from early on that the "Kamp Krusty" song was going to be on "The Yellow Album," so I made a conscious decision not to duplicate it on "Songs in the Key of Springfield" in case they ended up being released close to the same time.

The sound is really good, considering these songs were not intended for commercial release when they were recorded.
Over the years, however, the show has produced a number of memorable songs, many of them satirizing some of the most popular (and often unctious) chestnuts of recent American music.
Some of the songs are played semi-straight (Lurleen's country songs) while others extend the subversive, on-target humor of one of TV's most brilliant shows.

Alongside those releases, there are Songs In The Key Of Springfield, from 1997, comprising songs that were featured in the show, along with vignettes and bits of dialogue, and Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons, from 1999, featuring more of that stuff.
Yep, the song is just totally magnificent, and by the end, Bleedin' Gums Murphy joins her in a sax duet.
It gives me the clear image that Songs In The Key Of Springfield was an album that was waiting desperately to be released, and Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons was forced out, with the company running wild after material to put in the album before they hit a deadline.

 Songs in the Key of Springfield - Alf Clauson and others
Most of the songs are based on musical numbers and so whether you have seen the musical or can recall any of the songs from one will affect how much you get the joke.
However, it's not only the musical styles that are clever, the lyrics are often hilariously funny, in particular one song about how awful New Orleans is from "Oh Streetcar!" and although I have never been there, it certainly won't boost tourist numbers to the city.
There are a few spots of dialogue throughout and these are all well placed to compliment the songs and so the usual complaint about speaking on soundtracks doesn't really apply, indeed, there are a couple of speech-only tracks, one in particular, In Search of an Out of Body Vibe, is a riot.

That fact shouldn't detract from the value of this disc, as these songs and outtakes have never appeared outside of their television context.
And the pairing of highlights from the Simpsons show (songs plus dialogue), showcases the creative brilliance not only of the Simpsons writers, but of series composer Alf Clausen, the man responsible for creating most of the music on this disc.
The tracks themselves are often witty takeoffs of other songs, themes and ideas.

For the most part, songs and "The Simpsons" have always gone well together, and with this CD you can own many of the songs used in the show and listen to them whenever you want.
This one features even more songs (53 total) and memorable numbers such as "The Garbageman Can", Sideshow Bob's version of "The HMS Pinafore", the famous Union Strike folk song, and more.
The songs are okay to listen to once or twice, but "Do The Bartman" can get very annoying after a while.

 Salon | Sharps and Flats
"Songs in the Key of Springfield" nails down a half-dozen marvels that work as delights on their own, mostly through wickedly dark lyrics.
Burns' "See My Vest" and Homer's impression of meathead maudlin, "It Was a Very Good Beer." And as is often the case with Rhino, there are a couple annoying, cheesy omissions (due to money or permissions, one assumes) such as Sonic Youth's version of the end credit theme.
Anyway, "Songs in the Key of Springfield" is a fine excuse to immerse yourself in the "Simpsons" universe, and the God of all Simpsons Web sites is even here.
