The post Belle and Sebastian Appear on The Simpsons: Watch appeared first on Consequence.

The Simpsons went to Scotland on Sunday night’s (December 3rd) episode, and witnessed a performance from Scottish royalty Belle and Sebastian.

The episode, titled “Ae Bonny Romance,” centers around Groundskeeper Willie being whisked away to his Scottish homeland ahead of his marriage to Maisie, voiced by Karen Gillan. Equipped with matching blue suits and a custom bass drum head, Belle and Sebastian perform at Willie’s rehearsal dinner; fittingly, they played “If You Find Yourself Caught In Love,” from their 2003 album Dear Catastrophe Waitress.

For the episode’s end credits, Belle and Sebastian also contributed a new original song called “Willie and the Dream of Peat Bogs,” which, for a brief moment, sounds eerily similar to “Judy and the Dream of Horses.”

Frontman Stuart Murdoch took to social media to share his appreciation for the needle-drops: “I think they did us pretty well, what do you think?” he tweeted in response to their cartoon-ification. “Beans and Stevie are particularly well represented.”
