So this is from 1996.....
and tonight the joke becomes a reality at the Royal Albert Hall. After years of fan pressure, the American hip-hop group reached out to the LSO over social media and a deal was struck. The one-night only performance in London is based around their acclaimed Black Sunday album. It sold more than three million copies in the US and spent a whole year on the UK charts. The LSO will perform unique orchestral arrangements of the band’s most iconic songs including Insane in the Brain and I Wanna Get High.
"It's been something that we've talked about for many years since the Simpsons episode first aired," B-Real (real name Louis Mario Freese) told the BBC.
"So it's very special for us. And it's coming off the heels of our 30th anniversary for our Black Sunday album."
They called the ability to play on London's most famous stage "one of those checklist moments".
"We've played a lot of historical venues throughout our career and stuff like that, but nothing as prestigious as this."
