"Papa Don't Leech" is the sixteenth episode of the nineteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

Lisa is delivering scout cookies to Mayor Quimby, but they find the town treasury empty, and he cannot pay for it.

Later, Kent Brockman reports that all the residents have paid their back taxes except Lurleen Lumpkin, a country music star whom Homer once managed and who had previously fallen in love with him.

Lurleen tells the Dixie Chicks that her father stole her song, and they hit him with their instruments as punishment.

[4] Several years prior to the airing of the episode, the Dixie Chicks made remarks about George W. Bush that were perceived to be unpatriotic.

[6][7][8] When Lurleen sings about her father leaving her, Maggie holds the telephone receiver towards the music, which is similar to what happens in the 1985 film Back to the Future.

As the Simpsons sing "Daddy's Back" with Lurleen, they mention the book series Harry Potter and the cosmetic brand Estée Lauder.

[9] Homer's dream about being in a car crash with Grampa is an almost shot-for-shot remake of a scene in the 2007 episode of The Sopranos, Kennedy and Heidi.

The episode earned a 2.4 rating and was watched by 6.93 million viewers, which was ranked the 43rd most-watched show that week.

Richard Keller of TV Squad expressed dislike for the episode, stating that he hopes the show will reconsider the next time they decide to give a solo opportunity to a supporting character many people don't remember.

[7] The opening sequence where Homer murders Grampa in a dream was criticized, being called "the least funny thing I've ever seen on the show" by IGN,[7] and "very un-Homer-like" by TV Squad.
