The SimpsonsIn its typically skewering way, The Simpsons paid homage to the impact of the book in several episodes including "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife," in which Homer is forced to read a romance novel that Marge writes."I swore never to read again after 'To Kill a Mockingbird' gave me no useful advice on killing mockingbirds. It did teach me not to judge a man based on the color of his skin, but what good does that do me?"

In "Infamous," Lee is portrayed by Sandra Bullock, with Toby Jones starring as Capote. The two visit Holcomb, Kansas, the site of the murders that would eventually form the basis for "In Cold Blood." Bullock plays Lee as cool and amused by her flamboyant friend's antics, urging him to "come in on little cat's paws." ("It's no use," Capote shoots back. "This cat has long, noisy nails.")

Lee and Truman Capote were close friends, and the character Dill, Scout's friend, in "To Kill a Mockingbird" was based on the "In Cold Blood" author. So it's no surprise that Lee shows up in two movies about Capote, "Infamous" and "Capote."

The Philadelphia hardcore punk band Paint It Black recorded a song called "Atticus Finch," though the lyrics seem to have nothing to do with the soft-spoken attorney. They're also mostly unsuitable for work. Here's a slightly edited taste: "[Darn] parasite! / So don't talk until you take a walk in my Chucks / What the [heck]? / I guess you're [quite] out of luck."

erhaps the most overt reference to Lee's novel in rock music comes from the Boo Radleys, a '90s Britpop band that took their name from the reclusive, misunderstood hero in "To Kill a Mockingbird." The band was best known for its insanely catchy song "Wake Up Boo!", and the guitarist explained the group's name in an interview on the Creation Records website: "We just thought it was a cool name. ... It was the one book we did in school that had any lasting impression on me."

And then, of course, there's "The Simpsons." In the episode "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife," Marge writes a romance novel, and Homer realizes he'll have to read it. He's not happy about it: "I swore never to read again after 'To Kill a Mockingbird' gave me no useful advice on killing mockingbirds. It did teach me not to judge a man based on the color of his skin, but what good does that do me?

("Tequila Mockingbird" is the joke that refuses to die. There's a cocktail with that name, featuring lime juice, creme de menthe and tequila; an entire book of literary cocktails; the Los Angeles punk scenester; drag performers; and bars and restaurants in Maryland, Connecticut, Florida and New Zealand named after the groan-worthy pun.)
