"All Singing, All Dancing" is the eleventh episode of The Simpsons' ninth season. The episode first aired on January 4, 1998.

Synopsis

Template:Spoiler

Homer rents the family the movie Paint Your Wagon. He and Bart expect to see a violent Western starring Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood; the truth is, it is a musical. This causes Homer to dispose the tape and condemn singing, but Marge says that Homer often sings.

Ultimately, this allows clips of the following songs from these episodes to be shown:

• "Baby on Board" from "Homer's Barbershop Quartet";
• "We Put the Spring in Springfield" from "Bart After Dark";
• "Springfield, Springfield" from "Boy-Scoutz N the Hood";
• "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?" from "Homer and Apu";
• Krusty's version of "Send In the Clowns" from "Krusty Gets Kancelled";
• "See My Vest" from "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds";
• "The Monorail Song" from "Marge vs. the Monorail";
• "In the Garden of Eden" from "Bart Sells His Soul";
• "We Do" from "Homer the Great".

The family's singing motivates Snake Jailbird to come in; he is bothered by the Simpsons' singing and does his own singing.

Trivia

• All of the musical numbers in this episode, with the exception of "We Put the Spring in Springfield," are on the soundtrack Songs in the Key of Springfield.
• This is the fourth of five clip shows that have aired in the show's history. The others were "So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show" (season 4), "Another Simpsons Clip Show" (season 6), "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular" (season 7) and "Gump Roast" (season 13).
• The first shots by Snake are heard over Phil Hartman's name in the credits (Hartman was shot dead by his wife as he slept, three months after this episode first aired).
• When this episode is shown in syndication, the endings to the first two song clips are cut out. Sometimes, the credits also cut off right after Snake's first shots.
• Continuity error: In "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds", after the "See My Vest" song, when Lisa talks about rescuing the dogs, Bart thinks "See My Vest" is a catchy song. But when they talk about it in this episode, Bart says, "Still it wasn't worth Burns's song and dance!"
