Cultural references

• There is a real musical called Paint Your Wagon.
• Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin (from Paint Your Wagon) are both real-world actors (although they do not voice their characters).
• Bart stated that Paint Your Wagon was a Joshua Logan film, Joshua Logan is a real-life writer and director.

Trivia

• All of the musical numbers in this episode, with the exception of "We Put the Spring in Springfield," are on the soundtrack Songs in the Key of Springfield. "We Put the Spring in Springfield" instead appears in Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons.
• The first shots by Snake are heard over Phil Hartman's name in the credits (Hartman was shot dead by his wife as he slept, four months after this episode first aired). While technically this is his last episode produced, his only part in this episode is a clip from "Marge vs. the Monorail".
• When this episode is shown in syndication, the endings to the first two song clips are cut out. Sometimes, the credits also cut off right after Snake's first shots.
• At one point, towards the end of the episode, there is a banner saying "Simpsons Clip Show #4" and the episodes production code which is (5F24), an example of fourth wall-breaking.
• When Lisa lists all the people who sing (Krusty, Mr Burns and Apu), they consist of all the male voice actors (Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, and Hank Azaria, respectively).
• In the Latin American dubbing, this is the first time when songs have been dubbed as well. In the original episodes the songs are broadcast in English without subtitles and the rest of the audio is Spanish. It also happens in the Brazilian dubbing.
• In the Latin American dubbing, Bart's voice has been replaced by another person. The person who dubbed Bart for the past 9 seasons would later come back on the 15th season, ironically when the rest of the cast had left and been replaced.
• There were new songs in this episode, "Gonna Paint Our Wagon", "Because He Was Singing" and "All Right, Marge".
