“The Simpsons” is a beloved show for a whole host of reasons, and it’s managed the rare feat of remaining relevant in the culture for decades on end. From classic “Simpsons” memes to its uncanny ability to “predict” historic events, the show is always on our minds.

A Twitter account called Simpsons Albums (@SimpsonsAlbums) captures the very particular way in which “The Simpsons” seems to have an episode or scenario that corresponds to just about any album art you can imagine. (No surprise, really; with 734 total episodes to date since its 1989 debut, there’s a lot of content to mine.)

The account tweets out frames from “The Simpsons” alongside album covers, and the results are delightful. Here are some of our favorites.



Tyler, the Creator, ‘Wolf’


Taylor Swift, ‘Midnights’


Carly Rae Jepsen, ‘The Loneliest Time’


The National, ‘Boxer’


Mac Miller, ‘Circles’


The Cars, ‘Candy-O’ & ‘Shake It Up’


Kate Bush, ‘Hounds of Love’ & ‘The Red Shoes’
