Lisa gets sent home from school with a terrible case of the blues. Meanwhile, Homer is distraught with the fact that Bart is whooping him at video boxing. One night Lisa meets “Bleeding Gums” Murphy, a jazz musician who teaches her how to express her feelings through music. We learn in a dream sequence that Marge was pushed to be happy by her mother and so she pushes Lisa to smile until Marge finally relents and it causes Lisa to naturally smile.
