DYN's this is the first non-Halloween episode in which the music at the end of the couch gag is different from the usual stanza?

Goofs

Bruce Wayne's mother is long dead, thus meaning that she can't invited to his Bat club (besides it was the death of his parents that led to him becoming Batman).

Comments

The bit where the demolition crew have a hard time taking the milk container pyramid apart spoofs a common act that carnival gamer runners do to rig their game. For this game, the three milk containers are attached together and connected to a base, thus making it virually impossible for anyone to the entire pyramid down with a baseball.

MUSIC ALERT:

"Sweet Home Alabama" (Marge and Bart's tandem bike song) "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" (Apu's Karaoke song) "Ebony and Ivory" (The Skinners Karaoke song) "My Sharona" (song sung by Jimbo's gang at the end)

And the music to "Midnight Cowboy", too.

I'd say this is Marge's ignorance at work, rather than a goof on the writers' part, though.

I wondered if they'd planned that for a purpose.

On the bike they do the Neil Young stanza (it's Lynard Skynard's response to Neil Young's "Southern Man"), and mention he was a singer in the sixties. Ignore the fact that he's kept performing and releasing albums ever since, and remember that it was his sixtieth birthday this week.

I do sort of wonder if the bit was a reference to his birthday.

I think that was part of the joke. Marge considers Neil Young to be on the same level as the Archies or the Banana Splits, neither of whom were even real bands.

But they were about social rebellion. That "Hardy Boys" band was, too!

Oh Boy, here come the Hardys, Oh Boy, we're having a party,

One banana, two banana, three banana, four, Four banans make a bunch and so do many more, Over hills and highways the banana buggies go, Fleegle, Beagle, Drooper and Snorf? Did I get that right?
