Chief Wiggum mentions that Tiffany's now offers breakfast, a reference to the film Breakfast at Tiffany's.

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.
