 Homer explains that the Be Sharps were on merchandise items - such as lunch boxes, mugs, posters, etc. When Lisa pulls out a bottle of Be Sharps Funny Foam, Homer says that it was pulled off the market when it was discovered to be poisonous. He goes on to voice his disapproval of that by remarking that, "...if you ask me, if you're dumb enough to eat it you deserve to die." He turns and finds Bart spraying the bottle into his mouth.
-The name of their second album was ''[[Bigger than Jesus]]''. Unfortunately, while the Be Sharps were becoming popular, Marge had problems raising the children, and the Be Sharps had problems of their own. They had creative disputes, brought on by Barney's new girlfriend (resembling [[Yoko Ono]]), and Barney left the group. The two recorded a "Revolution 9"-like piece, with Barney's girlfriend reciting "Number 8" over and over atop tape loops of Barney's belches. The group lost its popularity and split up, with Principal Skinner returning to [[Springfield Elementary School]], Apu returning to the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] to continue gouging customers, Barney returning to Moe's with his girlfriend, and Homer returning to his job at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] after a chicken named Queenie took his place. Despite numerous unanswered questions, like where the money Homer made went and why he never hung up his gold records, Homer simply sends the kids to bed and tells them he would answer their questions another day.

 After Homer takes another look at the album, the group reunites to perform a rooftop concert at Moe's. During the concert, George Harrison pulls up in his limousine, sees them and says, "It's been done," referring to the impromptu concert on the Apple offices rooftop performed by The Beatles during their ''Get Back'' recording sessions. Before the episode ends, it is implied that Chief Wiggum plans to have to group arrested.

-One of the writers for ''The Simpsons'' suggested that they should create an episode that focuses on Homer in a barbershop quartet and "a big parody of The Beatles". Jeff Martin, who was an "obsessive" Beatles fan, was chosen to write the episode, while Mark Kirkland, a "huge" Beatles fan, directed the episode, and ensured that The Beatles' references were accurate. Kirkland enjoyed directing the episode because unlike other episodes he directed, he did not experience any trouble animating "Homer's Barbershop Quartet". The animators liked creating The Beatles' gags and enjoyed the barbershop music. They also enjoyed working on the choreography of The Be Sharps and trying to match the characters' movements with the music.<ref name="DVD">(2004) Audio commentary for ''Homer's Barbershop Quartet'', [[season 5]] DVD.</ref>

 In a scene of the episode, [[Lisa]] grabs a [[Malibu Stacy]] doll with big breasts. [[Raphael]] tells her "they took [the doll] off the market after some kid put both his eyes out." A censor note from [[FOX]] network's censors was sent about the joke, because FOX did not want such jokes on the show. The writers ignored the censors, and the joke was seen in the episode.<ref name="DVD" />
