[edit] What Irish song does Barney sing in the men's room Goddammit!

That was the Irish Lullaby. I was fortunate to spend the day with The Perfect Gentlemen, a barbershop quartet from the States. Three of them sing as the Dapper Dans, and it so happened that those three also sang on this episode. According to Dan (I forget his surname, he was the baritone), he provided all of the Barney and Homer singing voices, with the exception of the Irish Lullaby. I'm not sure how to reference this in the article, as I don't suppose "Straight from the Horses Mouth" really counts... StephenBuxton 07:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC) I think another editor has answered this with the Toora Loora reference added under other pop ref ;) DDB 11:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Storyline Continuity Error

I'm going to add the fact that Santa's little helper was present when Lisa was only a baby, however Santa's Little Helper didn't arrive until the original episode (Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire) McDanger 08:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dan Jordan sings

As I mentioned in an earlier section, I was fortunate to spend a day with the American quartet The Perfect Gentlemen, three of whom where also part of The Dapper Dans, and it was those three (with one other) who sang on this episode. I know that Dan Jordan sang as Homer and co, as he told me so (but I sadly cannot find any material back-up for it), and he also told me that Dan Castlenetta did the Irish Lullaby singing. Can anyone suggest how I can add my conversation as a citation, so it doesn't get deleted as OR? Or would this conversation still count as OR? StephenBuxton 08:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

• I think who provided the singing voices is an out-of-universe piece of information worthy of being included. I just saw that your addition was removed; can the remover discuss so we don't get into an edit war? Kweeket 17:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I've put a request on the User's page to come over and justify. I should clarify something though - my converstation with Dan Jordan only covered what he had and Dan Cassallaneta had sung. There was another statement in that paragraph about someone else singing that I was not verified in that conversation. In other words, of the paragraph:

The famous Disneyland barbershop quartet, the Dapper Dans, provided the singing voices for the Be Sharps. In the beginning of the episode, only Hank Azaria's voice is present as Chief Wiggum. Occasionally, Harry Shearer is heard providing Principal Skinner's bass vocals. Aside from Grandpa Simpson audition, the only time Dan Castellaneta sang is as Barney singing the Irish Lullaby in the toilet. All the other times his characters' are singing, their voices are provided by Dan Jordan, the baritone in the Dapper Dans.

... I cannot say for certain that the parts in itallics are correct.

All sources must be easily verifiable and as you might have guessed, the vast majority of us to not have easy access to Disneyland so that we can ask ourselves. In other words, word of mouth fails WP:RS, WP:V and WP:OR. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Continuity error

thumb|right|800px|1)Church with future name...2)Proof of earlier (wiggum)...3)Time and scene when name is created I just watched the episode again, and noticed before it shows the group singing in the church, the sign in front of the church calls them "The Be Sharps", although they did not have that name until later.

We know that scene takes place before the naming, because Cheif Wiggum is in the group. Crazydog115 (talk) 16:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
