For his Simpsons special Morgan Spurlock has been getting various different musical acts to cover the Simpsons theme.  Now we can add Andrew WK and People Under the Stairs to that list

Then there’s this radio interview with John Ortved.  The whole interview is a little less than twenty minutes, but there are two parts I wanted to highlight.  The first is at 10:25 when Ortved discusses how the show actually got on the air.  All of this information is in the book, obviously, but it’s much more condensed here and it’ll give you a good idea of just how indebted we all are to James L. Brooks.  Right after that, at about the 13:00 minute mark, is a discussion between the host (pro-Zombie Simpsons) and Ortved (anti-Zombie Simpsons).  Ortved knocks it out of the park here but still manages to be politely Canadian.  Well done.
