Cultural references

This joke was also mentioned in Little Big Girl, were Bart says "Take my wife, Please. Hey, I finaly get that joke!".
- At the video store, Homer watches Buttercups of Autumn, a parody of the film The Whales of August.
- Homer dances to the Mexican Hat song.
- The rap Homer does in his car before driving it off the pier comes from the Chaka Kahn song "I Feel for You".
