Cultural references
- Although the subtitle at the end refuses to admit it, the episode is a parody of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice rock opera Evita. The reason that they refuse it at the end is because Webber dislikes having his works parodied.

- "A Vote For a Winner" and "Smart Girl Six Three" are parodies of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina".

- Martin said he got the idea of a casino night at the school from an episode of Saved by the Bell.
- After Homer wins on the wheel, he tells Marge that they'll get a PlayStation 1.
- When Homer is mocking Nelson, he jokes that Nelson drives a pink Miata.
- Nelson sung "I Am Iron Man", a parody of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath.
- When Lisa walked into the teacher's lounge, Skinner told her they were just discussing Vasco da Gama.
- When Skinner gives Lisa a key to the school, Skinner says it's like she's Harry Potter without any of the wonder.

- The postage stamps Homer has feature Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes and Elvis Presley.
