Apparently Alan Rickman Appeared In A Simpsons Episode While A David Bowie Song Played




2016 has started off on a rocky note for celebrities, as both David Bowie and Alan Rickman passed away before we were even halfway through January. And now, an old Simpsons episode is making the rounds because both of the Brits were featured in there.

The episode, from The Simpsons' 24th season, is called "Love is a Many-Splintered Thing" and features Bart, Homer, and some other randoms watching a British film. Benedict Cumberbatch says some stuff, Alan Rickman briefly comments on it, and "All the Young Dudes," written by David Bowie, is playing in the background. FOX's Animation Domination is calling it a tribute, but really, this is just a clip from an old episode resurfacing. So maybe don't refer to it as a tribute if you're just using it to promote newer episodes, okay FOX?

"Dancing In The Street" Without Music Is...Just, Well, Kind Of Amazing



This is something that simultaneously never needed to happen, yet also amazing and I'm mad I didn't think of this first. It's a very simple concept: what would a music video sound like without the music? In the case of David Bowie and Mick Jagger's cover of "Dancing In The Street", it's a whole lot of gruntin'. Well job.

YouTuber Mario Wienerroither apparently has a series of these Musicless Music Videos, so if you enjoyed this, the others are probably worth checking out.
