Cultural References[]

  • The title is a reference to the song Use ta Be My Girl.
  • Lisa pointing out to Marge that "the Juice is still on the loose" is a reference to OJ Simpson being acquitted of the alleged murder of his wife and her partner.
  • SpongeBob SquarePants also appears in this episode, as the one, who Lisa prays to. She also prayed to Buddha and Jesus.
  • The song "We Are the Champions" by Queen plays when the FOX News truck passes by.
  • Barney saved Chloe, who was trapped on top of a burning tree, with his helicopter, similarly to how he and Homer saved Bart and Lisa from a forest fire in "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses".
  • Men's Fatness is a parody of Men's Fitness, a magazine that ran from 1987 to 2017.
  • Chloe thought Krusty was dead in the season 7 episode, "Bart the Fink".

Trivia[]

  • The chores on the chore wheel are Wash the Dishes, Mow the Lawn, Dust and Vacuum, Sweep Garage, Feed Dog, and Pick Up Dry Cleaning.
  • Homer actually kept his promise he had given to Marge in high school when he said they will travel the world, as the family has been on all continents at least once and Homer was actually in space, too.
  • The chant that Chloe sings when performing the Chinese dissident dance can be translated as "爱英国" (ài yīngguó), meaning "I love England".

Goofs[]

  • In earlier episodes, Mount Springfield is a forest hill but in this episode, it is a volcano.
    • It could be possible that it is not the same location but just a volcano that just has the same name as the forest hill.
  • Chloe is right that when molten rock flows underground, it is known as magma. However, the river of lava is visible from the ground and exposed to air, so it would be referred to as lava.

Production Notes[]

  • The final draft for this episode was published on November 6, 2003.[1]
