Trivia:

• At Moe's Cavern in 1985 there's a sign reading 'For a Good Time Call Edna Krabappel'.

Homage: At the swap-meet, Moe is trying to make his oysters do impressions of comedienne Lucille Ball. Grampa and Jasper tune in by accident to a radio skit on the recently deceased (in 1985) right-winger Ray Cohn. There are many, many music references, mostly to the Beatles (Moe's 'Cavern', Barney's Japanese girlfriend, the rooftop concert, Homer's final remark 'I hope we passed the audition', which is from their movie Let It Be) and Elvis (he bought his mother a pink Cadillac, and the line 'I didn't pay any girls to scream' comes from one of his movies). Krusty's LP 'Swonderful, 'Smarvellous, 'SKrusty refers to an album with a similar title by Ray Conniff, while Melvin & the Squirrels are close relations of US kiddie cartoon pop group, Alvin & the Chipmunks. At the Grammy ceremony you can see Spinal Tap, Leon Kompowski from the episode , and somebody we think is MC Hammer.
