==Background==
David Geffen, founder of Geffen Records, had the idea to record an album based on ''The Simpsons'', to be released in time for Christmas 1990. The writers wrote humorous lyrics for the actors to perform over blues and hip hop. The voice actors for the series recorded the album in September 1990. The album was difficult to produce in between production for the second season of ''The Simpsons'', which was due to premiere just two weeks later.〔 The album's title was penned by producer, James L. Brooks.〔 "We plundered a number of different styles for the record," admitted creator Matt Groening in a 1990 interview.〔 The disc contains an eclectic mix of old blues tunes such as Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" and original songs such as "Deep, Deep Trouble", which was produced by rapper DJ Jazzy Jeff and written by Groening.〔
