This Twitter Account Pairs Scenes From 'The Simpsons' With Album Cover Art, And The Results Are Uncanny
“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.
