Carl Douglas was described as a one trick pony in "Bart Gets Famous". All the more biting is the unmistakable, half-broken discomposure in the voice of the alleged McFerrin as he wails out those final disconcerting strains. By Season 5 it had been around long enough to know that it had staying power, and to openly contemplate how amazingly far it had already come; "Bart Gets Famous" was an entirely upfront post-mortem of the Bart Mania that had characterised its initial wave of success, from the perspective of a series that had survived the pressures of getting so very popular so early on in its career.

My advice is to ride it out, make an occasional smart-aleck quip, and by next week we'll be back to where we started from, ready for another wacky adventure. This is a man who's lost his wits watching his momentary empire crumble around him, wrecked by the fickle nature of success.
