Cultural references

 * The song is a parody of the theme from Cheers.

 * A sign behind the bar reads, "Bartenders do it "till ya barf".
 * Maggie says Moe in this episode - in Homer's hallucination. Whether or not it counts as her first word is up to you. Note that she also said It's your fault I can't talk! in Bart Vs. Thanksgiving (in Bart's nightmare).
