 The morning after Homer and Ned's alcohol binge had the two of them wake up clothes in the jacuzzi. The producers discussed whether they should wake up naked or clothed, with [[Matt Groening]] wanting them to wake up naked. It was decided against though as it would "raise some questions".<ref name="Groening">{{Com|Groening, Matt|Viva Ned Flanders|Tenth|(2007).|link=Matt Groening}}</ref> A shot was cut from the same scene where we see from Ned's point of view as he wakes up, and he sees Homer's open mouth as he's sleeping. This was cut because the shot was deemed {{W|Federico Fellini|Fellini}}-esque and didn't fit ''The Simpsons''.<ref name="Affleck"/> Mike Scully also suggested that Ned should throw up on screen, but nothing came from this idea.<ref name="Scully"/>
-For the chase scene through the casino, Mike Scully wanted to use the cover of  "{{W2|Viva Las Vegas|song}}" by [[Bruce Springsteen]] from the complication cover album ''The Last Temptation of Elvis'' rather than the one by [[Elvis Presley]]. However, they couldn't clear the rights to use the song in time for the episode so they went for the Elvis version. The Moody Blues guest starred in the episode.
