Cultural references
- The title is a pun on The Eagles' song "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 "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 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.

Marge with white pearls
- 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, now ten, when she was twenty-four. This is inconsistent with most flashbacks to Homer and Marge's earlier lives.
- The filling of Homer's sandwich changes from green to purple.
- Depending on the scene, the label of the French Perfume bottle changes between blue, purple, and red.
- When Marge is talking to Patty on the phone, Marge's pearls are white instead of red.
