Legacy
The Simpsons Sing the Blues is today regarded as a novelty from The Simpsons's early popularity. Shortly after the record's release and success, record companies rushed to fashion music stars out of animated characters. In January 1991, Mattel announced plans to record a Barbie rock album titled The Look. At the same time, MCA Records was finishing work on an album based on the Mario Bros. characters. SBK and Geffen also enjoyed huge success with albums based on the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Simpsons Sing the Blues. The record soon became the fastest-selling album to emerge from a television show since the Miami Vice soundtrack in 1985. Disney also issued an album of rock songs sung by The Little Mermaid's Sebastian. "Do the Bartman" inspired a dance, "The Bartman", that was popular in early 1991.
