Cultural references

• The Foreigner song "Hot Blooded" plays over Apu's bachelor binge, and he dances in a manner similar to Riverdance.
• An accurate Indian translation of The Carpenters song "(They Long to Be) Close to You]" is sung at the wedding. An Indian vocal group was hired to sing, while Alf Clausen wrote the instrumental part.
• The scene where Moe walks on and off the stage without breaking his stride was loosely based on a moment that occurred during a stand up show of comedian Red Foxx. During a show in Las Vegas, Foxx came on stage to the Sanford and Son theme song, only to find that there were very few people in the audience. Foxx reacted angrily refusing to do a show with such a small audience and walked off. The house orchestra, puzzled by Foxx's leave simply played him off with the Sanford and Son theme song again.
  • This incident was also referenced in the later episode "Trash of the Titans", when Ray Patterson is reinstated, although the reference is more blatant then.
