Common card · No. 391610

"Bart Sells His Soul" is the fourth episode of the seventh season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It first aired on Fox in the United States on October 8, 1995. In the episode, Bart, after being punished for playing a prank at church, scornfully dismisses the concept of the soul, and to show he is serious in his skepticism, he agrees to sell his soul to Milhouse. However, after several ongoing strange events make him think he really has lost his soul, he desperately tries to regain it. This episode was written by Greg Daniels, who was inspired by an experience from his youth where he had purchased a bully's soul. Director Wes Archer and his team of animators visited Chili's for examples to use in Moe's family restaurant. The episode includes cultural references to the 1968 song "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly, which is played during the show (as "In the Garden of Eden"), and Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, as well as a parody of Judy Blume's 1970 book Are You...
