the protest chant in The Simpsons

The Bollox · 2005-10-13 17:39:53

I was watching the one tonight where Lisa gets braces and Homer becomes the head of the Power Plant union. the protestors have a chant that goes "so we'll march day and night by the big cooling towers they have the plans but we have the power" is the tune to it from any song? or was it just made up?

Brilliant, thanks
I find actually hearing the song banishes the song-stuck-in-head demons.
lol, now I want to listen to it again...

The first time I heard it, I remember thinking that it sounded Irishy.

definitely not a simpsons original no matter how much you want it to be. though in fairness i can't back that up, but the tune is definitely from some classical mystical tune of some sorts with the words changed
