Cultural references

• The home movie sequence is a parody of The Wonder Years.
  • The song playing is Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help from My Friends", which was used as the show's opening theme music.
• The sequence where Groundskeeper Willie chases Santa's Little Helper through the air ducts parodies scenes from the first three Alien movies.
• Principal Skinner is conducting a recording of Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5".
• When Bart and Principal Skinner realize that they will need to return to being enemies if Skinner returns to being the school principal, Skinner, fondly remembering their time as friends, says, "We'll always have the laundromat."
