You Light Up My Life



剛剛看 The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 12 (8F10) 時聽到的.

劇情是 Marge 和 Homer 在車上聽到廣播裡的這首歌.

In Homer's car (complete with `DISCO SUCKS' bumper sticker), they sing
`You Light Up My Life' along with the radio, though Homer has trouble
with the words.

Marge: [listening to `You Light Up My Life' on the radio] Our song.
Homer: I bet the guy she was singing that about was real happy.
Marge: Well, actually, she was singing about God.
Homer: Oh, well, He's always happy. No, wait, He's always mad...

還有人寫了篇文章在分析:

Though he claims to be a Christian [41], Homer is essentially a pagan. Religion for him consists of placating or bribing an angry god or gods. Marge, listening to "You Light Up My Life", reminds Homer that this was their song. Homer replies that the guy she was singing about must have been real happy but Marge says that the song was about God. Homer: "Oh well, He's always happy. No wait, He's always mad." [42] When his house catches fire while he is at home skipping Sunday church service, Homer draws a conclusion about the nature of God. "The Lord is vengeful. [He falls on his knees]. O Spiteful One, show me who to smite and he shall be smoten!" [43]

PS. 好像這整篇文章("God and The Simpsons")都還滿有意思的 :)
