The Smashing Pumpkins were the main members of the Hullabalooza Rock Festival. They are impressed with Homer Simpson because of his ability to take blows to the stomach so easily and make him the main attraction. When Homer dodges one cannonball at the risk of dying, he parts with the Smashing Pumpkins, as they promise never to forget him. They tell him they envy him since he has a family and all they have is "our music, our legion of fans, our million of dollars and our youth." Before realising that's all amazing and start planning to buy luxury items.
