'The Simpsons' Take The Hollywood Bowl With Live Musical Performance

When you've done 500 plus episodes over multiple decades, the backlog of content is staggering. In the case of The Simpsons, that doesn't only mean hilarious jokes, animation cells and Emmy awards. It means music too. While most people associate the show's music only with Danny Elfman's iconic theme, every week has lots of other music and that music is finally getting spotlighted.
