Los Angeles, CA û A soundtrack so highly anticipated that

even Homer would get off the couch to celebrate its

arrival, THE SIMPSONS: TESTIFY is finally here! Set for

release on September 18, 2007 from Shout! Factory, THE

SIMPSONS: TESTIFY music CD spotlights material culled from

award-winning composer Alf Clausen and features the

unmistakable voices of AmericaÆs most beloved TV family:

Homer (Dan Castellaneta), Marge (Julie Kavner), Bart

(Nancy Cartwright), Lisa (Yeardley Smith), and

SpringfieldÆs various townsfolk (Hank Azaria and Harry

Shearer). The soundtrack kicks off with Danny Elfman's

unforgettable main title theme, and continues with a

collection of the best songs from the last nine seasons of

the longest running primetime comedy on TV today. The

album arrives just in time to accompany the premiere of

Season 19 of THE SIMPSONS on FOX.



Only on THE SIMPSONS: TESTIFY can you find a range of

great talents from Jackson Browne to ôWeird Alö Yankovic,

both willing to engage in self-parody that reflects the

showÆs uncanny irreverence. And then there is David Byrne,

who while hearing a list of his vast musical

accomplishments, adds with pride ôAnd I used to wrestle

under the name æEl Diablo!Æö It is Byrne who helps Homer

realize the full odious potential of ôEverybody Hates Ned

Flanders,ö even contributing an extended salsa remix, ôNo

Me Gusta Flanders.ö WeÆre also treated to the lyrical

styling of the endearingly homicidal Sideshow Bob (as

voiced by Kelsey Grammar) as he reexamines his

overwhelming loathing of Bart Simpson on ôThe Very Reason

That I Live.ö



THE SIMPSONS: TESTIFY puts the music front and center, as

the songs featured were mixed specifically for this new

album. For the first time, the brilliant re-imagining of

Broadway hits Evita, My Fair Lady, and The Sound Of Music

can be fully appreciated for all of their satirical

nuance. In ôMy Fair Laddy,ö Groundskeeper Willie plays

Eliza Doolittle to LisaÆs Henry Higgins, as Willie learns

both elocution and manners to the refrain of ôWhat flows

from the nose, does not go on my clothes.ö And in ôYokel

Chords,ö Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel and his hillbilly

brood take the place of the von Trapp family, with Lisa

again playing the role of teacher. In this memorable

parody from the most recent season, the Sound Of Music

line ôI am sixteen going on seventeenö becomes ôI have

eight teeth, going on seven teeth.ö Of course.



Any SIMPSONS fan will no doubt remember Ricky Gervais

memorable appearance as the Marge-obsessed Charles

Heathbar, who serenades Marge with ôLady,ö which spends

more time explaining its lyrics (in song) than actually

saying anything romantic, with the possible exception of

the closing exhortation, ôdonÆt die.ö



For those of us with a love of musical theater and the

American popular songs, THE SIMPSONS has certainly carved

out an iconic place in musical history by communicating in

song at the highest level. Never in recent memory has a

television series made such effective use of both songs

and underscore to advance plot points, support the

charactersÆ emotions and put a lasting smile on the

viewerÆs face.



Now entering its nineteenth season, THE SIMPSONS, a modern

cult classic created by Matt Groening, remains one of TVÆs

most popular programs û in all demographics. The show

premiered on FOX as a half-hour comedy series January 14,

1990, and received numerous Emmy« awards for Outstanding

Animated Program. Nearly all of the music for this weekly

animated half-hour series is composed or arranged by

composer Alf Clausen, who has received 2 Emmy« awards and

20 Emmy« nominations for his Simpsons music.



THE SIMPSONS is a Gracie Films Production in association

with 20th Century Fox Television. James L. Brooks, Matt

Groening, and Al Jean are the executive producers. Film

Roman is the animation house.
