There's also and episode of the simpsons were bart (and that weiner milhouse) fall for this girl who happens to be the daughter of reiner wolfcastle, who has to go to canada to shoot a film, but in one of the scenes he his being picked on by these two "bullies" who say, "there's just more of you to pick on", so wolfcastle lifts one of the bullies and literally puts him through the body of the other bully, then he says "AND THE GEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH!!!!!!!!"

Now isn't that similar to a line in a certain song of a certain canadian band!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope its ok to revive this.

I think its interesting to note that Matt Groening is a fan of Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and the Residents (I think).

yah they were actually good friends as well

Apparently, in some of the episodes, during the song intro when Lisa plays the saxophone solo, there is a very brief reference to 'King Kong'. I just read this somewhere, and I don't have the ability to validate this right now.

...and I could have sworn there was an episode where Otto the busdriver yells "Zappa rules!"

One of my favorites!  The Moody Blues were on the Simpson's episode where Homer and Flanders marry two waitresses in Vegas.  When the new wives find out the guys are already married and trying to ditch the waitresses, the Moodys promise to kick Homer's a** in a very poetic way: 

"Cold hearted Homer, ditching his wife

while ancient Ned runs for his life.

Chips of red and blue and white

But we decide...

(Grame Edge interrupts) Can the poems. It's Arse whooping time!"
