The story

Homarge is Pogo's remix of Homer and Marge Simpson, built mostly out of one 1990 episode, Simpson and Delilah. That's the one where Homer grows a full head of hair with a miracle tonic called Dimoxinil, gets bumped up to junior executive, hires a secretary named Karl (voiced by Harvey Fierstein) and loses it all when Bart ruins the last of the stuff. It ends with Marge reassuring a bald Homer at home. Entertainment Weekly and The Daily Telegraph both put it among the show's best episodes, and 29.9 million people watched it the night it aired.

Pogo, the Perth producer who makes music out of film and TV clips, posted it in October 2019. YouTuber OneSimpleGamer edited the video, and CamJ used AI upscaling to make those early episodes look clean and crisp. It passed a million views. A hair-loss episode turned into a groove for Springfield's favorite couple. Bald is beautiful.

    1.“Die Antwoord is a strange mix of trying to figure out if you actually like it... and wondering what the fuck you need to smoke to come up with this.”
