Line 469:
*** Another musical relation in ''The Simpsons'' shows Homer singing modified lyrics to [[Covered Up|Frank Sinatra's]] "It Was A Very Good Year" (when he was remembering the time he bought his first six-pack at a liquor store with an obviously fake ID -- [[Fridge Logic|It's best not to think about how he got away with it]]).
