Walking Big & Tall

Kevin Michael Richardson as Albert
Pharrell Williams as himself

"Walking Big & Tall" is the thirteenth episode of the twenty-sixth season of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, and the 565th overall episode of the series. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 8, 2015.

Thirty years ago, Springfield has a town meeting where a younger version of the Old Jewish Man mentions that Springfield's Soviet sister city Springograd has "disappeared from the map." Afterwards, a younger Hans Moleman was shown to be the Mayor of Springfield when he reveals Springfield's new anthem "Only Springfield." The anthem is played by Dewey Largo on the piano with the song being sung over the years.

At the latest town hall meeting in the present where "Only Springfield" was being performed, Moe returns from his vacation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and stops the singing of the anthem. Besides describing his vacation, Moe shows Tuscaloosa's anthem on MyTube to the citizens where it is the same as their anthem which caused various reactions from the citizens like Dewey Largo pushing the piano off the stage, Kirk and Luann Van Houten spilling the drinks and stepping on the cups, and the Rich Texan wonders what to do with guns when a person is angry. When Sideshow Mel claims it to be an amazing musical coincidence, Moe then shows the anthems on MyTube where the cities that used the generic anthem outside of Tuscaloosa have included but are not limited to Austin, Texas, Oakland, California, Calgary, Provo, Utah, Ulan Bator (their anthem is sung by four Mongols), and Area 51 (their anthem is sung by a guard and three aliens). Moe states that every town has their own version of the same anthem including Des Moines, Iowa. Mayor Quimby identifies that the song was written by former mayor Hans Moleman as the citizens converge on him. Hans admitted that he bought the anthem from a salesman that's been selling it to half the towns in North America and stated that he didn't think anyone would find out since he thought nobody goes anywhere outside of Springfield. Groundskeeper Willie states that he can't do away with the anthem's lyrics on his chest and that he'll never be buried in a Jewish cemetery. When Hans Moleman begs for mercy, the citizens tie up Hans Moleman and put him on a horse which gallops into the desert. Lisa says to Mayor Quimby that she could write a new anthem. Pharrell Williams shows up and says that he could also write one. Mayor Quimby states that Lisa offered to write one first and Pharrell starts to recite his song "Happy." The citizens then give Pharrell the same punishment as Moleman where Pharrell shouts "Shelbyville Rules, Springfield Drooools!!"
