Cultural references
- The title is a reference to Strangers on a Train
- Marge and Ben are fans of Upton Rectory, a parody of Downton Abbey.
- Ben sings the Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields song "The Way You Look Tonight" in Marge's imagination, backed by Nelson Riddle's orchestra.
- The arrangement sung by Ben is similar to the version done by Frank Sinatra, which was arranged and conducted by Riddle for the 1964 album Sinatra Sings Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River, and Other Academy Award Winners.
- When Ben is leaning against the lamppost it is reminiscent of the cover of Sinatra's 1954 album Songs For Young Lovers.
- When Ben is singing with the orchestra, the raincoat and fedora combination is reminiscent of the poster for Sinatra's 1957 film Pal Joey.
- When Homer tells Lisa he named Bart after a train, he was referring to the Bay Area Rapid Transit, public transport for the San Francisco bay area.
