* ShoutOut: Quite a few to Music/TheBeatles once the [=McCartney=]s show up. For instance, Linda tells Lisa "Whenever we're in Springfield, we like to hang out in Apu's garden in the shade.", referencing the song "Octopus' Garden". Paul had first met Apu while the Beatles were in India with the Maharishi in 1968, leading Apu to say "Back then, I was the fifth Beatle", pronouncing "Beatle" as "[[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable Be-At-Tull]]", just like the Eastern cult members from ''Film/{{Help}}''.
