They may only play classical, but it sounds like they’ll give it a shot.
Homerpalooza is a classic episode of The Simpsons, known even to those who aren’t well-versed in the series. Parodying the then-traveling festival Lollapalooza, the 1996 episode featured guest appearances from Sonic Youth, The Smashing Pumpkins and stoner rap group Cypress Hill who were performing in collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Twenty-one years later, the group looked back fondly at the gag on Twitter only for it to turn into a conversation about an actual, real-life collaboration.
“Did somebody order the London Symphony Orchestra?” Art is imitating art as Cypress Hill move to makes a Simpsons-born collaboration come to life.
