Contents
Music
- "All I Have to Do Is Dream" by The Everly Brothers: Opens this episode.
- "Suicide Is Painless" by Johnny Mandel: Known better as main theme of M*A*S*H, it plays while Marge is leaving Homer in the helicopter to meet Artie Ziff.
- "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps: Played at Artie's '70s style prom.
- "Precious And Few" by Climax: Also played at the prom.
- "Georgy Girl" by The Seekers: When Artie is advertising his invention.
- Wooly Bully by Sam the Sham: Heard when Dr. Hibbert smashes mailboxes with his golf club.
- "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics: At the end of the episode, Artie's Snor-Converter alters Homer's snoring into the tune of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by the Eurythmics. Artie also supplies altered lyrics in which he tells Marge that Homer is a loser and that she should dump him.
Cultural references
- Indecent Proposal - The film is punned in the title and referenced throughout the episode.
- The point where Artie is flying Marge away in his helicopter, and Marge sees that Homer has written "KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON" in rocks, is a callback to the series finale of M*A*S*H ("Goodbye, Farewell and Amen"), in which Capt. Hawkeye Pierce, as his helicopter takes off to fly him homeward, sees that Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt has written out the word "GOODBYE" in rocks.
- Moe says to Artie "I'm a spy, in the house of Moe." This is a reference to the lyric "I'm a spy, in the House of Love" from the song "The Spy" by The Doors.
Continuity
- This episode is a sequel to "The Way We Was".
- Homer has a Funzo to illustrate Marge kissing Artie Ziff. ("Grift of the Magi")
- Grampa brings up Homer's 300 game. ("Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder").
- Homer is also shown to have a loud snore in the comic story Maggie's Crib 11.
- Homer says he's being drinking for 25 years meaning he's being drinking since he was 14 years old. Previous episodes indicate Homer doing underage drinking.
- Professor Frink has goldfish in his shoes much like Disco Stu did in "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson"; however, unlike Disco Stu's fish, Frink's are very much alive.
Goofs
- When leaving the prom, Marge pulls open a fire-escape door, when the push bar is clearly on the inside.
