Cultural references

Music

  • "Drunken Sailor", and parodies of it (one of them performed by Homer), are heard throughout the shipboard scenes.
  • After Bart is promoted to midshipman, the music playing over the montage of crewmen performing their duties is "We Sail the Ocean Blue" from H.M.S. Pinafore.
  • The first time the Captain plays the concertina it sounds like a concertina; the second time, it sounds like bagpipes; the third time, it is referred to as an accordion, which it is not.

Trivia

Comparison of the banners
  • The Pigskin Pals banners are modeled on the Summer Box Office Fantasy League banners in the The Simpsons writers room.
  • Homer's fantasy football team password is Annoyed Grunt.
