Trivia

Cultural References
- This episode title is a reference to 1984 novel Lord of the Dance by Father Andrew Greeley.
- Alex tells Lisa not to be a "Phoebe", referring to Lisa Kudrow's character from the TV show Friends.
- Lisa's new appearance looks similar to Olivia Newton-John's character's new look in the film Grease.
- Homer's grease heist scheme might have been inspired by the Fight Club novel, although the episode aired over a year before the movie based on the novel was released, giving it more mainstream fame.
Goofs
- Despite being the first day of school, a calendar in the back of Ms. Hoover's classroom says March. Ms. Hoover is lazy and does not care much for being a teacher. Her neglecting to change the calendar is not out of character. However, at the grease collecting plant, the calendar shown in the background also says March.
- There appear to be four of the same faced squeaky voiced teens at Krustyburger.
- Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph are missing at the school.
- In some FXX reruns, from the part when Lisa says "Enjoy the dance" to Willie shreaking seeing Bart and Homer, the talking and sound effects are out of sync.
