45. “Topsy”
(Season 3, Episode 16)
To get revenge on her Thomas Edison-obsessed science teacher, Louise decides to do her science fair project on Topsy, the elephant whose death by electrocution was filmed by Edison Studios. “Topsy” is a good episode that happens to feature the absolute greatest of the show’s many original songs: “Electric Love,” a beautiful romantic ode to Edison and Topsy. This song overshadows the rest of the episode and is the main reason Bob’s Burgers needs a soundtrack album.
Best moment: When the show creates its musical opus.
Stay tuned for part 3.
