Cultural references
- The boyband Boyz from da 'Burbs is probably a reference to both the boyband The Backstreet Boys and the film Boyz n the Hood.
- Their song I Want It That Way with my Vida Loca Genie in a Bottle One More Time is a reference to I Want It That Way, Livin' la Vida Loca, Genie in a Bottle and ...Baby One More Time by The Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears respectively.
- In Homer's singing contest:
- Nelson sings "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee, lousy with virginity" from the song "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" from the movie Grease.
- Rod sings "Jesus loves me, yes I know! For the bible tells me so!" from the song "Jesus Loves Me".
- Milhouse sings "I get knoced down, but I get up again, said you're never gonna bring me down! I get knocked down, but I-" from the song "Tubthumping".
- Bart sings "Do the Bartman! Come on, everybody, do the Bartman" from the song "Do the Bartman".
Trivia
- The plot is similar to the episode "New Kids on the Blecch" both of which include Bart, Ralph and Nelson becoming part of a boy band whose voices need to be edited due to their bad singing. The episode aired in February 2001, four months before this comic was released.
Goofs
- Nigel's hair is brown in one panel.
