Cultural references
- The title is a reference to the song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple.

- When Bart raises his head out of the pile of leg warmers in the smoke outside, the song "The End" by The Doors is heard, mirroring a sequence in the film Apocalypse Now, where Willard raises up from the mud. He is also wearing green camo body paint.
- After Lisa quits ballet and rejects Busby, he puts on a bowler hat and struts out of the theater to the song "On Broadway", referencing a dance sequence in All That Jazz.
- Homer's mispronunciation of "Surgeon-General" as "Sturgeon-General" is a reference to the movie "Corrina, Corrina", starring Whoopi Goldberg and Ray Liotta. In it, a small child refers to the "sturgeon-general"'s health warning about the dangers of smoking as an explanation for burying the adult characters supplies of cigarettes in her sandpit.
- The family watches CSI: Miami, the commercials feature Friends (Lisa Kudrow).
- The music that plays as the raccoon climbs into the Ballet School sounds a lot like the theme from The Pink Panther.

- When Lisa mentions the smoking on "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody", she mentions that Zack tried smoking to impress a girl. This never happened in the real TV show.
