Staying with The Simpsons for now, and indeed with season three, we had another metal guest show their faces, this time in Moe's Tavern. Aw, you know who I'm talkin' about!

“Flaming Moe's” featured our favourite bartender discovering that Homer, against all odds, had come up with formula for an irresistible alcoholic drink, and stealing the recipe from him. On the basis of his being the only place you can now get a “Flaming Moe” (originally of course a “Flaming Homer”) the tavern becomes THE place to go, and stars and A-list celebrities begin to patronise it. Among them are Aerosmith, who have to be coaxed up on stage by Moe, enticed by the promise of “free pickled eggs”!

They of course launch into “Walk this way”, after Steven has mistaken Springfield for St. Louis, and then at the height of the chorus invite Moe up to duet. An interesting touch is that, at this moment (for reasons which escape me right now) Homer is making his way through the vents or something, and he pushes a vent cover away at approximately the same time Tyler, in the video, smashes through the wall of the studio with his mike and leans into the other studio where Run DMC are rehearsing the same song. Not sure if it was meant to refer back, but if so, it's clever.
