Here, Homer experiences the biggest thrill of his life: a plate of pound cakes with George Harrison present. At the Grammys, David Crosby presents the Be Sharps with an award. In May 1986, the group arrives in New York, where they perform at the Statue of Liberty Centennial in front of President Reagan, while Chief Wiggum becomes a national laughingstock. The result: The song "Baby on Board", which becomes a big hit and makes the Be Sharps internationally famous. While Homer attempts to write a song about the Capone vault hoax, Marge shows him a "baby on board" sticker for the car. As the car has a blow-out and Marge is forced to walk 10 miles to the nearest gas station, Homer tells the kids about the Be Sharps' rise to stardom. After the show, the quartet takes on the name of "The Be Sharps".īack in the present, Homer seems to be the only one to have sold anything at the swap meet. At first, people don't seem willing to take Wiggum's replacement, but then go wild for Barney as soon as he sings, much to Wiggum's embarrassment. About to give up, they happen to listen Barney Gumble singing an Irish lullaby while looking for his keys at the stalls. After Homer drops Wiggum in the middle of nowhere like a dog, the quartet attempts to hold auditions for a replacement, but the applicants, including a poorly-disguised Wiggum, are just no good. One night at Moe's, a talent agent called Nigel shows interest in the group, but asks for Wiggum to be removed, as he sounds too outdated in his opinion. He then proceeds to tell how, back in the summer of 1985, he sang in a barbershop quartet alongside Chief Wiggum, Apu and Skinner, performing at "Moe's Cavern" as well as other places, including the state jail. ![]() Homer finds no apparent value in famous antiques, Marge unsuccessfully attempts to sell some crafts, and in Jeff Albertson (the Comic Book Guy)'s stand, Bart and Lisa find Meet the Be Sharps, an LP album whose cover features Homer.
