John McClane 1 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I think it could be a very funny score, like "Home Alone"...and who will score the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 It should be no one but Alf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Alf Clausen, the man responsible for the vast majority of Simpsons music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 of course I know who Alf Clausen is, but I The Maestro would do a better score.You all know think JW is better than Clausen, isn't he?By the way, my question was: what do you think if JW score the Simpson movie? Wouldn't you be happy? Me yes of course!!!TJ (who is doing the most complete Indy scores in the whole planet, my ROTLA soundtrack will have more than 40 tracks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Very true. Alf Clausen has been scoring The Simpsons since season 2. None but him should do the feature film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Could Williams make as good musical in jokes?I'm sure he could make a good theme for you, so yes, the same applies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I don't think he could do a great musical joke, Not like Alf. (Though I laughed every time I heard that love theme in AoTC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Ah yes, I was about to ask a similar question: Who should score the Simpsons film out of Elfman and Alf. I definately think Clausen should, he is so underrated on that show. Sure, Elfman composed the theme, but Clausen has done so much more. Hi parodies (particularly "Cape Fear" and the Bond Films) are spot on, the songs are classics ("We Put the Spring in Springfield", anyone?) and he is more than capable. It's so unfortunate he lives in Elfman's shadow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I have to say, Alf Clausen is the Master at cloning the Master. The way he intergrates The Imperial March to Burns' scenes is hilarious as well as the Star Wars parody which involved the George Lucas-type character who butchered another series of popular space-related movies. He also scored the Haloween episode with the Potter parody and the underscore was very fitting, borrowing heavily from JW's. In short, I would rather see Alf Clausen being John WIlliams in this movie than John Williams being himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I also find Clausen's music one of the few things that's still really good about the show. The last episode I watched had a total of two (2) good jokes in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 One episode of the show really stood out at me. It's quite recent; it's the episode in which Flanders gets a girlfriend who's a movie star and hilarity ensues. The music was so touching and different, I forgot to see if Clausen scored it. I haven't heard the music since, I'd like to see it again just for the music. Ironically, it had a reference to Williams in it; the town attended a public concert in which the billboard declares "John Williams Conducts The Music From Itchy And Scratchy" and an orchestral variation of the I&S theme is playing.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 LOLI also love how Clausen quotes music from earlier in the show. An episode from last year or so had Bart join a group of boyscouts. When they were in the woods, you heard the music from when Homer is driving the RV in a season 1 episode where the family gets lost in the woods.And in another recent episode, Bart (or someone else, I forgot exactly who it was) was playing baseball. When he hit a homerun, you heard the music from Homer at the Bat, a season 3 episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,355 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Alf and The Simpsons are synonymous. It's amazing how quickly he sets the tone from one scene to the other (funny --> sad). Watching The Simpsons without him would be very distracting. He's part of the Simpsons family and the family should be left intact.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yeah, it's too bad he's often forgotten by the public who think only about the Main Theme, and think Danny Elfman is the only contributer to the show. Of course the theme is fantasic, my favorite TV show theme, but Alf's work deserves a LOT mor recognition. I love his musical homage/parody of Cape Fear in the Sideshow Bob episodes in particular.

tharpdevenport 4 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yeah, he should score the The Simpsons movie (I didn't know one was coming), but think about this:Composer Adam Berry wanted to score the South Park movie and it ended up going to Marc Shaiman.The studios will want to pull in a major name, who MAtt will probably want Alf.He is underrrated and I really hope he does.A CD of score would be excellant, sh!t, if I was payed, I would go threw every single episode score and pick the best cues for a good release. I don't mind.imdb.com has a complete listed of all composers who worked on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
