Plot
Homer and Marge go see a movie but Homer doesn’t shut up in the theater. He ends up giving the film away and the audience boos him. Marge yells at him, leaving him embarrassed. Homer drives off to a country bar to think about what happened when he meets a waitress named Lurleen Lumpkin who sings a song that he falls in love with. Homer returns home but can’t get her song out of his head. He drives back and decides to get the song recorded. It is given to the local radio station and the song is an instant success. Homer becomes Lurleen’s manager, much to Marge’s objection. Lurleen wants more from Homer than him being her manager, but Homer cares for his wife and kids and decides he made the wrong choice.

Deleted Scenes
Before Lurleen’s performance of “Bagged Me a Homer” at the recording studio, Bart and Lisa argue over country singers. This footage was included in a promo of the episode and can be found on the DVD, but the full scene is not.
