According toVariety, the short will follow Lisa Simpson (Yeardley Smith) on her search to find a quiet place to practice playing her saxophone when she is suddenly discovered by Billie and Finneas. Likely after hearing Lisa’s love for music and her talent, the two siblings invite her over to Billie and Finneas' music studio for a special jam session. This is the fourthSimpsonsspecial in the collection of shorts that are released exclusively on Disney+. So far, Disney+ has released a Star Wars themed short “Maggie Simpson in ‘The Force Awakens from Its Nap,'” a Marvel-themed short “The Good, The Bart, and The Loki,” and “Maggie Simpson in ‘Playdate with Destiny.'”
The April 22 release for the “When Billie Met Lisa” special coincides with the singer’s Coachella performances, where she is set to take the stage on Saturday as the headlining performance on April 16 and 23. This is the first time that Eilish has returned to the festival since 2019, a performance that is considered in the music industry to have launched the young superstar’s global act. According toVariety, she is also the youngest person in history to headline the Coachella arts and music festival at 20 years old.
The Simpsons Regularly Has Musical Guests
The Simpsonsfamily regularly has musical guests appear on the series, from singer-actor Ron Taylor voicing “Bleeding Gums” Murphy in the first season’s “Moaning Lisa” to The Weekend portraying Orion Hughes, the owner of a fictional skate company. Legends like Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and James Brown have also appeared on the show, as well as pop idols like Britney Spears and Justin Bieber. And the influence goes the other way too, with bands like Fall Out Boy actually getting their name from an episode ofThe Simpsons(14 years before they appeared on the series).
More recently,The Simpsonswelcomed Bad Bunny to Springfield for his music video “Te Deseo Mejor” last December. In the video, the Puerto Rican rapper and singer rekindled Homer and Marge’s relationship after they got into a fight. Then, in another recent episode, “Panic on the Streets of Springfield,” Benedict Cumberbatch replaced Morrissey as the Morrisey-inspired Quilloughby, a depressed British crooner without outdated attitudes, in one of the best musicalSimpsonsepisodes of all-time.
The Simpsonsspecials can currently be found on Disney+ along with the original seasons of the series. However, to find the newly released episodes from Season 32, fans will have to stream to the episodes on Hulu, including a recent episode with the return of “Bleeding Gums” Murphy’s ghost and his deaf son,Monk (John Autry II).
