That episode of Married With Children where Al Bundy pretends his name is Axl, plays a pastrami sandwich, and records a charity single with some real-life rock stars

.

On November 15, 1992, the comedy series Married... With Children aired its 140th episode. Like many of the previous 139, it was a tale of familial woe and unlikely triumph, but this one was different: its cast featured a number of genuine rock stars. 

The plot is typically ludicrous. The show's protagonist, Al Bundy, enters a shoe-selling contest in order to stave off financial ruin. Against all the odds, he triumphs, and wins a first-class ticket to Honolulu, but his hopes of a trip away from home are dashed when wife Peggy trades the prize for four standby tickets so that the entire family may travel.
