What's that song "The Garbagement" that U2 performed for the Simpsons, but didn't make it onto their "Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons" album?

I haven't heard it, nor know where to obtain it.

Anyone know anything about it?

The Simpsons have several CDs out, and "The Garbage Man" is definitely on one of them.

However, U2's parts have been overdubbed, most likely due to legal nonsense on the part of the record companies.

Not exactly sure which song you mean Phes. The "Garbageman" is a parody of Sammy Davis Jr's "The Candyman" The episode is on a best of Simpson's video available at Woolworths.
It's classic IMHO. Waste management, a subject dear to my heart

They could not have appeared in better context for me.Homer, the problem of what to do with our effluent and U2.
Hub's band is called Los Garbos and the Trashmen.(way before that episode appeared)so
it was doubly cool.
Good luck in your search.
 
the episode is available for download on morpheus.

Kobayashi's bizarre use of colour, superfast editing and extreme camera angles, coupled with a hilariously deadpan performance by Toshiro Takemitsu as the inspector who discovers a whole family of ghosts travelling without valid tickets, remains without peer.
 
it goes "the sanitation folks are jolly friendly blokes
curtious and easy going,
they clean up when youre overflowing

Funniest part of that episode--Homer gets beat up by security guards, on the video monitors, while the band is playing "Pride (in the name of love)".
 
As a tribute to that episode, check out my signature.

Adam: Look guys, I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection.
Edge: Oh boy, here we go...
Bono: Wow, how many is that now Adam?
Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Bono: Can I see it?
*adam gives bono the spoon, bono throws it away*
Adam: My spoon!
