The Bart of War/References

==Cultural references==
*The title is a reference to The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
* The name of the song used in the montage part of the episode is One Tin Soldier by Coven.
===Beatles references===
*The drum solo Homer was playing during the first Pre-Teen Braves meeting is the opening drum part of "Get Back" and the middle of "The End", by The Beatles.
*We learn Ned Flanders is also a fan of the Beatles, despite what John Lennon is supposed to have said "about Jesus" (actually, about Christians).
*The four flavors of the "Beatles Soda" are "John Lemon" (John Lennon), "Paul McIcedTea" (Paul McCartney), "Orange Harrison" (George Harrison) and "Mango Starr" (Ringo Starr). Bart and Milhouse drink "John Lemon" and "Orange Harrison", the two Beatles that died (John Lennon and George Harrison).
*After Bart sees Milhouse as John Lennon, Bart says "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye", a direct quote from the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus".
