Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald
As with most episodes of "The Simpsons", the music was composed by Alf Clausen and edited by Chris Ledesma. In a blog written by Ledesma, it was revealed prior to the airing of the episode that it would contain the use of the waltz "Tales from the Vienna Woods" by Johann Strauss II as well as a musical cue similar to the style of the main theme from the film "Catch Me If You Can". The episode features several other references to popular culture as well. For example, Homer skips work to go see a film called "Paul Flart: Water Park Cop", a parody of the 2009 film "". In addition, there is a brief shot of the character "Bender" from the animated television series "Futurama".
