I dare say this is Al's episode.

Based on what?

Wasn't Nirvana a grunge band, or am I thinking about another band?

Homer's band becomes famous, Al does a parody of one of their songs, maybe?

Rampant speculation by myself.

But I think it sounds most likely, as Al did a parody of grunge band Nirvana in the early 90s and so yeah.

Yeah, I guess that works.

Hang on... if this is released on the 18th, how come I've already been able to buy my copy?

So "Homer and Marge" is now available in audio form. I guess somebody can check the booklet to see who the writer of the song is, but I guess this confirms that Al didn't write it.

Well I thought this quote from Ask Al confirmed he didn't write it:

Originally I was only intended to be in the body of the show, but the recording session went so well, the writers thought it would be a great idea for me to sing an extended version of the parody over the closing credits (and of course, I did too)! So they came up with some additional lyrics and I went back to the Fox lot several weeks later to record that as well.
