Sweet Dreams are made of this

Good old Simpsons always good, sometimes great. Last night's season 13 episode on Channel 4 still has me chuckling. Marge is having problems with Homer's snoring and via various routes this leads her to her original prom date Artie Ziff now a millionaire.

Anyway the bit that has me chuckling occurs at the end Homer is trying out Artie's new invention a snore translator, which resembles a gas mask. He starts to snore and Marge reaches over and flips the switch to on and music starts to play. The camera cuts to a shot of a Ziff logo emblazoned tube lying on Homer's stomach while Marge sleeps contentedly in the background to the electronic styles of Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics when Artie breaks in over the top -

"Dump him Marge he's a loser [starts singing] I've travelled the world and the seven seas, I am watching you through a camera"

At which point her eyes snap open. Sheer genius.
