==Debut appearances==
*[[Lenny Leonard]]
*[[Helen Lovejoy]]
*[[Jacques]]

== Cultural references ==
*The title is a pun on The Eagles' song "{{W|Life in the Fast Lane}}". The initial title ("Bjorn To Be Wild") was meant to be a play on Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild".
*The scene near the end parodies the film "''{{W|An Officer and a Gentleman}}''" and contains the same music.

== Trivia ==
*As with "[[Bart the General]]", the [[opening sequence]] was shortened due to the length of the episode. This means this episode has no [[chalkboard gag]] and [[couch gag]].
*The original title of this episode was "Bjórn to Be Wild". This is because it called for Albert Brooks to voice Bjórn, a Swedish tennis instructor, but Matt Groening thought it would be better to make Brooks' character French.
*The moon is seen to have three craters on it, much like a bowling ball when Jacques is dropping Marge off.
*[[Jacques]] takes [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] to Shorty's Coffee Shop for brunch.
*Albert Brooks is credited under the name "A. Brooks" in this episode, as with all his other appearances on ''[[The Simpsons]]''.
*Marge's shoe size is 13 AA.
*Matt Groening once stated that this episode was his favorite. His actual favorite is "[[Bart the Daredevil]]".
*Jacques appears again in The Simpsons' seventh season episode "[[Team Homer]]" and makes a brief cameo as a bowler in the past in "[[And Maggie Makes Three]]". He also appears in the "[[Do the Bartman]]" music video dancing with various women.

== Goofs ==
*In the scene where Marge is next to Homer at work, the pink big line on the top of his tie flips to the opposite side for a split second, and then flips back to normal.
*If Marge is thirty-four, this would mean she gave birth to [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], now ten, when she was twenty-four. This is inconsistent with most flashbacks to [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] and Marge's earlier lives.
