Ep 16. A Midsummer's Nice Dream

In the episode "A Midsummer's Nice Dream" of The Simpsons' 22nd season, the town of Springfield is gearing up for a charity talent show, organized by Krusty the Clown. The Simpson family decides to put together a rock band, with Homer on bass, Marge on keyboard, Lisa on drums, and Bart as lead singer. However, the band quickly falls apart due to Bart's poor attitude and lack of commitment.

Meanwhile, Krusty is having difficulties with the talent show, as many of the performers drop out due to various reasons. He even tries to recruit celebrities to participate, but they all decline. While feeling depressed about the show's prospects, Krusty falls asleep and begins to dream about a magical fairy who promises to help him put on the greatest talent show ever.

Krusty's dream takes him to a fantastical world filled with musical numbers, including a parody of "All That Jazz" from the musical Chicago. In this world, he meets various people and characters who agree to perform in his show, including the mermaid voiced by Katy Perry.

Back in the real world, Krusty wakes up feeling inspired, and he begins to recruit some of the people he met in his dream to perform in the talent show. Meanwhile, Bart decides to rejoin the band, with a newfound appreciation for music and the effort it takes to create a great performance. In the end, the talent show is a huge success, with performances from a wide variety of acts, both from Krusty's dream world and from Springfield.

Overall, "A Midsummer's Nice Dream" is a fun and whimsical episode of The Simpsons that features some great musical numbers and a heartfelt lesson about the importance of working hard and committing to your goals. It's a great showcase for Krusty the Clown, who is often a supporting character in the series, and it also provides some nice character development for Bart, as he learns to appreciate the value of music and teamwork.
