 For those of you who have never seen The Sound of Music, that Family Guy clip was probably meaningless!  Being well-read and having brief experiences with various aspects of music, art, and pop culture help us to understand allusions in every day life.  Imagine an alien watching Family Guy… it wouldn’t understand any of the jokes!

The Simpsons and Family Guy allude to popular movies….

 Abyssinia: historical name for Ethiopia, in Africa  Baptist: a Christian religion  Atlas: comes from Greek mythology!  Cleopatra: queen of ancient Egypt  Nefertiti: the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (later Akhenaten), and mother-in-law of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun.EgyptianPharaoh Amenhotep IVAkhenatenTutankhamun  Serengeti: the African grasslands  Sister Betty: (Betty Shabazz), Malcom X’s wife  Nassau Coliseum: a musical venue in NY!

 A quick allusion can create a mood in just a few words, rather than using a long explanation.  Allusions help writers and musicians relate to their audiences.  Combinations of allusions can contribute to a certain THEME. For example, a musician may use a number of Biblical allusions to make a statement about his own religious beliefs.

 The chorus of Lauryn Hill’s song states, “What is meant to be will be…changes come eventually”.  The allusions she used in her song remind us of ancient Africa, and important events in black history.  The statement she makes is about roots and about important changes for her people.
