(Neck goof is for like a frame. As for the other listed goof, that's a joke. Elton John himself would have also signed off on the joke, since he's the one who said the line.)

Cultural references[edit]

  • The episode title is a spoof of a novelty T-shirt saying "I'm with stupid".
  • Apu says "My humble message of love has become a Valentine's Day Massacre."
  • The episode ends in a heart-shaped iris, à la Love, American Style.
  • There was a King of the Hill episode of the same title.
  • Apu owns "concert against Bangladesh", featuring the song "You Make Me Feel So Young" by Frank Sinatra; the album's name is a reference to George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh.
  • Apu taught a parrot to sing "I Love the Nightlife" with clever new lyrics. Marge is impressed, even though she and Homer actually hate the song.
    • "I Love the Nightlife" was also heard (with the original lyrics) in the season eight episode "A Milhouse Divided" when Luann packs away her ex-husband's clothes and sets them on fire and in the infamous episode "Homer's Phobia" when John comes over for dinner.
  • Chief Wiggum mentions that Tiffany's now offers breakfast, a reference to the film Breakfast at Tiffany's.
  • When Apu is talking to Elton John, the logo on the tail of the aircraft next to them is similar to that of United Airlines.
  • Elton John's private jet having a pair of huge red glittering glasses is a reference to Elton's trademark sunglasses.
  • After Apu saves Elton John from the plane gone awry, he references a number of Sir Elton's songs. They include, "Take Me to the Pilot", "Your Song", "Someone Saved my Life Tonight", and "The Bitch is Back". Additionally, Elton closes the episode with an updated performance of "Your Song". John changes the lyrics from:
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
A man who makes potions in a, travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, yeah, and this one's for you.

To:

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
A man who makes potions in a, travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, yeah, and this one's from Apu.
