    • In the Czech dubbing, however, this episode is named Kapela otců, which is translated to as Band of Dads.
  • Homer mentions the Colorado Avalanche, a real-life hockey team from the NHL. He also mentions how they were previously named the Quebec Nordiques.

Trivia[]

Goofs[]

  • Homer knows how to play guitar from band camp (but he may not remember it)
  • Homer learned the bass guitar in five seconds, when really it takes something like 5-10 years in practicing (maybe he knows it from band camp).
  • When Homer is playing the G-string on the bass, it sounds like an "E" note, though it is possible it was tuned differently.
