The Simpsons is a show that is rife with literary references. So rife, in fact, that we had difficulty narrowing it down to our five favorites. Like many of you students, we here at Eduify have seen every single Simpsons episode (at least once). We love the show for its incisive and hilarious writing, its endearingly obnoxious characters, and the strange relevance that a little cartoon can have on our actual lives. So, without further ado, here are our 5 favorite Simpsons episodes and educational links to the literary references therein.

“If I plan to learn I must learn to plan”

Those words were written on my sixth grade teachers desk. They will stay with me for life because they depict an important point: Planning is imperative to success.

09/09/09 saw the release of the Beatles Remastered albums, which the forces of marketing proclaimed was “22 years in the making”. While we think the whole Beatles Remastered hullabaloo is a bit cheesy — and not really that relevant considering we’ve been listening to un-remastered versions of all those albums since we were babies and did just fine thankyouverymuch — we are self-proclaimed Beatles fanatics and wholly give into the whole Beatlemania thing.

The Beatles were an amazing band, one of the first rock ‘n roll bands that really walked the fine line between intellectually interesting pop music that was both intelligent and held mass appeal. Their songs are deceptively simple. Beneath the catchy hooks and the straight-forward melodies are hidden complexities, which is often manifested in the lyrics of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. As Eduify is a literary website, we are particularly fascinated by the literature of Beatles lyrics. Namely, you’ll be hard-pressed to name many popular pop bands of the 60s who dropped as many literary references as the Beatles.

In honor of the Beatles, and in keeping with this new wave of Beatlemania that’s spreading the nation, here are our favorite Beatles songs that contain literary references.
