I was watching tonight's new Simpsons episode and "City of Blinding Lights" was used when Homer goes to Paris.

I was confused at first (COBL has nothing to do with Paris) but then my wife explained to me that this episode "Devil wear Nada" was a spoof of the movie "Devil wears Prada" which uses City of Blinding Lights when they go to Paris.

Anyway... as far as I can remember this is the only time The Simpsons have used a U2 song other than the "Trash of the Titans" episode with U2 as guest stars (when Pride was used).

Awesome! I love when U2 are referenced on The Simpsons, it's definitely one of my favorite shows ever.

I had The Simpsons on in the background while I was working on my homework. I didn't even notice they played this song.  Sad

I think its time for a U2360 episode of the Simpsons. The POPMart one is dated.  Cheesy

Maybe Homer could complain about the setlist on said episode?  Cheesy

I remember something over Mysterious Ways,

Like a moving company on the Simpsons. Not sure though.

It was a billboard with U2 holding boxes with the words: U2: We Move In Mysterious Ways.
