thread_title: ... and the "FLY-WOMAN"

message: That was the Irish Lullaby.  I was fortunate to spend the day with The Perfect Gentlemen, a barbershop quartet from the States.  Three of them sing as the Dapper Dans, and it so happened that those three also sang on this episode.  According to Dan (I forget his surname, he was the baritone), he provided all of the Barney and Homer singing voices, with the exception of the Irish Lullaby.  I'm not sure how to reference this in the article, as I don't suppose "Straight from the Horses Mouth" really counts...  StephenBuxton 07:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What Irish song does Barney sing in the men's room Goddammit!

message: I always saw this episode as a combination reference to the Beatles but also Comedian Harmonists (and the 1997 film)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.88.239.4 (talk) 15:33, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: It would have been difficult for an episode broadcast in 1993 to reference a 1997 film. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm going to add the fact that Santa's little helper was present when Lisa was only a baby, however Santa's Little Helper didn't arrive until the original episode (Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire) McDanger 08:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Storyline Continuity Error

message: thumb|right|800px|1)Church with future name...2)Proof of earlier (wiggum)...3)Time and scene when name is created
I just watched the episode again, and noticed before it shows the group singing in the church, the sign in front of the church calls them "The Be Sharps", although they did not have that name until later.
We know that scene takes place before the naming, because Cheif Wiggum is in the group.

message: Just read the wiki-article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbershop_music and thought this scene is a homage to this story: 
Barbershop Harmony Society
Main article: Barbershop Harmony Society
The revision of a cappella singing was taken up again when a tax lawyer named Owen C. Cash decided that for the art to die out would be a shame. He garnered support from an investment banker called Rupert I. Hall. Both came from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Cash was a true partisan of quartet singing who advertised the fact that he did not want a cappella to fall by the wayside. A meeting was called and at 6.30 pm on Monday, April 11, 1938, 26 men gathered on the roof garden of the Tulsa Club in the Alvi Hotel. They eventually burst into four part harmony singing. The police were called and had to ask the participants to "keep it down." The sound of their singing had reached ground level and all traffic stopped to listen, wondering where the harmonic sound was coming from.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.14.31.248 (talk) 10:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Barbershop Quartet in this episode was directly influenced by The Beatles, and there are some obvious evidence to support this. The rooftop performance in this evidence relates to The Beatles' same performance on a rooftop; what you mentioned could have influenced The Beatles to do that, however. But, you'll need a reliable source to support this before we can add it to the article (it would have to go in the The Beatles article somewhere, not here though.)
