Homer Simpson
Oh Mindy, You came and you gave without flaking, But I sent you Ben-gay, Oh Andy, You kissed me and stopped me from something...
— The Simpsons ‧ 1989
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
These comic lyrics mimic a sentimental love song, thanking Mindy for showing up and giving generously, then swerving into the mundane with a gift of Ben-Gay. The next verse turns to Andy, whose kiss interrupted something before the lines trail off. The mismatch of romance and liniment creates the humour.
