Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all, so I was watching the latest Hulu Simpsons episode 'How Munched Is That Birdie In The Window' tonight, when I heard... Jaco! It starts around 4:45 into the episode. I *know* this is a Jaco/Weather Report tune, but I'll be darned if I can remember which one it is. That iPhone app for recognizing tunes can't pick it out, can any of you guys help me out? |

| | | | It isn't "Birdland" is it?
Maybe "A Remark You Made"?
"Havona"?
"Teen Town"?
"Portrait of Tracy"?
"Come On Come Over"?
"Donna Lee"?
The list is pretty long....
