8. Marge Sings “I Shot the Sheriff”
The Simpsons took a self-deprecating look at their popularity in Season 11’s “Behind the Laughter” episode, a parody of VH1’s Behind the Music documentary series. The Simpsons broke the fourth wall, poking fun at their fame in the mainstream and fabricating the future of their careers beyond their status of America’s animated family. (They eventually fell on hard times, and went their separate ways before the inevitable reunion, in typical Behind the Music fashion.) As the family members all go on to solo ventures, Marge starts performing songs like Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with her band Just Marge (And Friends).
