Aerosmtih

On the 21st November 1991 the tenth episode (3rd season) of “The Simpsons” was aired on the Fox Network in the USA. In this episode called „Flaming Moe’s„, Homer tells barkeeper Moe Szyslak of a very special cocktail that includes cough medicine. The drink has to beflamed – so he calls his new creation „Flaming Homer“.  Typically for Moe, he steals the secret recipe from Homer and renames his new invention „Flaming Moe“. The drink becomes very fast a big seller at his tavern „Moe’s“ and Homer gets very angry at Moe for his betrayal – and he is seeking for revenge.

The American Rock band Aerosmith (Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford) appears in this episode.

Aerosmith‘s cameo marks a novelty in the Simpsons show history:  It’s the very first band to make a guest appearance on the show. And this was also the start for further guest apperances of other popular groups like Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, U2, The Moody Blues, The B-52’s, The Who, R.E.M., Phish, Blink-182, Metallica and The White Stripes – just to name a few.

Lisa Simpson, Paul and Linda McCartney

On the 15th October 1995 the fifth episode (7th season) of „The Simpsons“ was aired on the Fox Network in the USA. In this episode called „Lisa the Vegetarian“ are Paul McCartney and his wife Linda the guest stars. And Paul’s song „Maybe I’m Amazed“ is featured during the closing credits. About this song Paul and Linda are saying to Lisa: „Linda and I both feel strongly about animal rights. In fact, if you play ‚Maybe I’m amazed‘ backwards, you’ll hear a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup.“
