Cultural references

• There is a real movie called Paint Your Wagon.
• Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin (from Paint Your Wagon) are both real-world actors (although they do not voice their characters).
• Bart stated that Paint Your Wagon was a Joshua Logan film, Joshua Logan is a real-life writer and director.

Trivia

• All of the musical numbers in this episode, with the exception of "We Put the Spring in Springfield," are on the soundtrack Songs in the Key of Springfield. "We Put the Spring in Springfield" instead appears in Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons.
• The first shots by Snake are heard over Phil Hartman's name in the credits (Hartman was shot dead by his wife as he slept, four months after this episode first aired). While technically this is his last episode produced, his only part in this episode is a clip from "Marge vs. the Monorail".
• When this episode is shown in syndication, the endings to the first two song clips are cut out. Sometimes, the credits also cut off right after Snake's first shots.
• At one point, towards the end of the episode, there is a banner saying "Simpsons Clip Show #4" and the episodes production code which is (5F24), an example of fourth wall-breaking.
• When Lisa lists all the people who sing (Krusty, Mr. Burns and Apu), they consist of all the male voice actors (Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, and Hank Azaria, respectively).
• In the Latin American dubbing, this is the first time when songs have been dubbed as well. In the original episodes the songs are broadcast in English without subtitles and the rest of the audio is Spanish. It also happens in the Brazilian dubbing.
• In the Latin American dubbing, Bart's voice has been replaced by Claudia Motta. Marina Huerta, the person who dubbed Bart for the past 9 seasons would later come back on the 16th season, ironically when the rest of the cast had left and been replaced.
• There were new songs in this episode, "Gonna Paint Our Wagon", "Because He Was Singing" and "All Right, Marge".

Goofs

• In the film Paint Your Wagon, as the older man is noting that the wagon is shabby, his ear hole disappears for a frame.
• After Bart makes fun of Homer's singing and Marge points out that Bart has sung too, her head is mispositioned for a frame so that some space between her neck and necklace is visible.
• The video tape framing doesn't make sense, as how would they have video footage of the songs being performed?

Continuity

• Songs used in the episode that appeared in other episodes are:
  • "Baby on Board" - "Homer's Barbershop Quartet"
  • "We Put the Spring in Springfield" - "Bart After Dark"
  • "Springfield, Springfield" - "Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood"
  • "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?" - "Homer and Apu"
  • "Send In the Clowns" - "Krusty Gets Kancelled"
  • "See My Vest" - "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds"
  • "The Monorail Song" - "Marge vs. the Monorail"
  • "In the Garden of Eden" - "Bart Sells His Soul"
  • "We Do" - "Homer the Great"
• Bart no longer likes Burns' "See My Vest" song, unlike in "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds".
