Simpsons Movie plug

Just watched Homer Simpson provide his own intro for the All-Star Game. Leave it to Fox to insert a plug for the upcoming Simpsons movie - but at least Homer's All-Star segment was sort of funny. If only they'd played "Talkin' Softball"...
Well, Mister Burns had done it,
The power plant had won it,
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile,
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar-room tile.

We're talkin' softball, from Maine to San Diego,
Talkin' softball, Mattingly and Conseco,
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw,
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law,
We're talkin' Homer, Ozzie and the Straw.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Simpsons movie. I'm sure I'll feel the need to see it but I'm a little nervous that it might disappoint.

Update 7/11 1:12pm: Added the full lyrics, from memory!

For those seeking ways to waste some time (aka 98% of people reading this blog), I recommend the Simpsons Movie website: http://www.simpsonsmovie.com/

It includes games, interactive visit to Springfield locations, and a chance to create an animated Simpson character patterned after you.
