History

When Nigel gave The Be Sharps a recording contract he told Homer that they had replace the police officer, as he was "too Village People". This led to Chief Wiggum being replaced by Barney.^[1]

When Homer joined the Naval Reserve he got to participate in the annual war games and was placed on board a Nuclear submarine which was under the command of Captain Tenille. When it was time for the submarine to cast off, Tenille announced that it was traditional to sing the Village People song "In the Navy", so the crew started to do it. The Village People were at the time on the sub's deck and began to sing too, but when the sub dove, they went down along with it, leaving their headgear floating on the water.^[2]
