Decades later, a joke on “The Simpsons” will come true — with hip-hop group Cypress Hill performing with the London Symphony Orchestra for an “insane” show.
The collaboration of U.S. hip-hop collective Cypress Hill with the London Symphony Orchestra was first featured in cartoon form in 1996 on an episode of “The Simpsons.” LONDON — A joke made on “The Simpsons” television show almost 30 years ago will become a reality in London on Wednesday evening.
The collaboration first featured in cartoon form in 1996 on an episode of “The Simpsons” entitled “Homerpalooza.” The episode sees hapless patriarch Homer try to impress his children by attending the fictional “Hullabalooza” music festival with guests there includingin the cartoon shows an assistant backstage address a room full of musicians: “Somebody ordered the London Symphony Orchestra. Possibly while high? Cypress Hill — I’m looking in your direction.
“It’s showing the adaptability of hip-hop, which is made from every musical form, that it could actually be re-created by the oldest form of music and put out there,” he added, referring to classical music.Each time the episode was shown as a repeat in the United States or the United Kingdom it would lead to fresh social media pressure on the LSO to collaborate with the band, Kwok said.
