Meg White and Jack White as themselves
"Jazzy and the Pussycats" is the second episode of The Simpsons' eighteenth season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 17, 2006. When Bart turns a quiet funeral into a chaotic mess, Homer and Marge are faced with angry Springfielders who have had enough of Bart's mischievousness. But when a psychiatrist assists Bart by channelling Bart's anger through drums, Lisa feels Bart may have stolen the one thing she held strong: music. For this, Lisa begins collecting animals to subdue her misery. It was written by Daniel Chun and directed by Steven Dean Moore.Meg White and Jack White of the White Stripes guest star as themselves. In its original run, the episode received 8.94 million viewers.
Amber, Homer's "Vegas wife" from "Viva Ned Flanders", dies of a drug overdose, so the Simpson family attends her funeral. Bart, bored and looking to go home early, plays a game of paddle ball. The game, however, goes awry when the ball flies into several people's mouths, causing mayhem. Homer and Marge are faced with the angry churchgoers, who have had enough of Bart's antics. As a result, he is forced to see a competent psychiatrist (from "Brake My Wife, Please") who suggests Bart get a drum set in order to harness his anger and the energy he has and find the focus and discipline that he needs. Bart gets a kit and instantly becomes a natural at it, imagining that every drum and cymbal is Homer's face. He practices non-stop, even while asleep, and, in the style of "The Hardest Button to Button"'s video, he walks through Springfield while drumming and leaving a copy of his drum kit behind him, every time he plays it, and literally runs into The White Stripes on the street, earning Bart an enmity with them. They then try to chase him in the same fashion, until they stop in the middle of an open bridge and fall into a nearby garbage barge. Eventually, his drumming drives Homer and Marge mad and Lisa suggests to her parents that she can take Bart to a jazz brunch.
