Ok, I'm just going to throw this up here, mostly because I spent the last hour working on it, and I want that time to go to good use. If you aren't interested, that's fine, but...just humour me, ok? Like, for a day or so? I'm going to list twenty songs. Each of these represents a single character from the super-smash-hit-television-programiola The Simpsons. Whoever can guess the most song-character connections correctly will win...my respect and admiration. ( "But, Oogie, don't you already respect and admire us?") Here are some tips: - Most of the songs' clues are in the title. There are a few cases where the answer lies in the lyrics (or at least some of the lyrics). The connection may be a specific trait of a character, the way they act in a single episode, or their general personality over the course of the entire series. - There are four members of the Simpsons clan on the list. Try to guess which ones! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised... - While there are many recurring supporting characters on the list, there is only one one-off character included. This character's identity lies in the song title, and the character was voiced by a celebrity. NOTE! To encourage participation, I'm going to let people make two guesses per day. You're welcome... The game will end when people stop posting here, so get your answers in, cause this game may be ending very soon. Good luck! ;D

"Free Will" sounds like Bart.
"Space Lord". . .Kodos and/or Kang?
Okay, now that I've participated, you're obligated to make at least one post to my Transformers thingy once I get it set up.

"Free Will" sounds like Bart. I get why you'd think that, but no, that's wrong. Think of someone else who doesn't act like everyone else... "Space Lord". . .Kodos and/or Kang? Kang is right!...but since you also listed Kodos, that's technically three guesses. But since you were nice enough to participate, I won't penalize you for it. This time.

Aye for Otto, nay for Flanders.
The John Mayer song is about someone who has trouble keeping the faith...keep that in mind...

The John Mayer song is about someone who has trouble keeping the faith...keep that in mind... Forgoing what might be an easier song, I'll take a risk on this one and say... Lisa? -D

Negatory, Drew. Lisa doesn't really have trouble keeping the faith...as long as that faith is Buddhism. Besides, there's a song on the list that fits the Simpson girl much better.

Astral gets one point for guessing Lisa's song! The "political activist" tone of the lyrics ("If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice," etc.) is why I thought this song fitted Lisa better than it did Bart.
No dice for "Salt of the Earth," though. The guy connected with that song is a more minor character; someone...more pitiful, I'll say...
