When I grow up, I'm going to bovine university
This really is a corker of an episode. I was probably 11 the first time it was on. There are probably more good quotes in the first half of this episode than there are in several of the newer seasons combined, haven't actually belly laughed at a new episode since about 2001!

Probably a repost:
When Homer gets his dream job at the bowling alley, he looks shiftily around then dunks his head in the ball polished
Boss: Homer, did you put your head in the ball-o shine-o?
Homer: err... No.
Boss: 'Alright then' *sets his hair do in the reflection of Homer's ludicrously shiny head and walks off*
That and the Hank Scorpio episode mentioned, think thats my all time favourite

You don't win friends with salad!
On C4 now. I hate to sound like an old, reminiscing doosh (especially as I've not even turned 30 yet), but the old ones really are the best.
One of my best memories of being a daft kid, 2 of us walking down La Ramblas in Barcelona during the Sonar festival, completely out of our tree, singing that at the top of our voices.On C4 now.

Random folk joining in all the way down.
It was then changed to "You don't make friends with Puma" later on in the holiday.

I don't think you've lived until you've started an impromptu conga line singing that song! Which also reminds me of another great quote "Sorry, Sir, but I'm going to have to get off the phone, there's a line forming behind me.."Morningside said:
No. I always thought it was until its was re-shown and I think it credits someone for the voice.

Michael Jackson's Appearance
Michael Jackson himself voiced Leon Kompowsky's dialogue, and sound-a-like Kipp Lennon performed all the singing parts. Jackson's guest appearance was credited to "John Jay Smith." The DVD commentary for this episode indicates that Jackson approached the Simpsons team wanting to appear on the show, but due to a contract obligation, was not allowed to sing. However, he did write "Happy Birthday, Lisa" for the show. Great secrecy surrounded the guest appearance for some time, and even Matt Groening, when appearing on the Jay Leno show, did not openly reveal that it was Jackson (although he hinted strongly). It wasn't until the episode "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" that a more open clue was given to viewers, when Lisa mentions that Dustin Hoffman and Michael Jackson made cameo appearances in the movie, stating, "They didn't use their real names, but you could tell it was them..." (Dustin Hoffman, of course, voiced Mr. Bergstrom in the episode Lisa's Substitute, and his guest appearance was similarly shrouded).
