BART FINDS THE RHYTHM AND LISA FEELS THE BLUES ON �THE SIMPSONS� SUNDAY, DECEMBER 31, ON FOX

JACK AND MEG WHITE OF ROCK BAND THE WHITE STRIPES MAKE GUEST-VOICE APPEARANCES

When Bart turns a quiet funeral into a chaotic mess, his parents are faced with a mob of angry Springfieldians who have had enough. Homer and Marge desperately look to a child psychiatrist for help, who suggests that Bart take up drumming to channel his energy. Before long, Bart is laying down fills like a pro, getting into �drum-offs� with The White Stripes (guest voices Jack and Meg White), and jamming in a band with Lisa�s favorite jazz musicians. It doesn�t take long before Lisa�s encouragement turns to deep-seated jealousy, forcing the Simpson siblings to learn how to march to the beat of the same drum in the �Jazzy and the Pussycats� episode of THE SIMPSONS Sunday, Dec. 31 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SI-1718) (TV-PG L)
