Dancin' Homer/References

== Trivia ==
*Ironically, Homer's performance of Baby Elephant Walk occurred only two months after DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp was released in movie theaters and featured duckling Webby wish for a baby elephant. Like the other DuckTales ducklings Huey, Dewey and Louie, Webby was voiced by Simpsons recurring voice actor Russi Taylor. Though DuckTales would end as a television series around this time, the show would have a spinoff called Darkwing Dark, which featured Homer Simpson voice Dan Castellaneta perform villain MegaVolt in his Krusty the Clown voice.
*During the episode, Homer is assisted by organists when performing his Baby Elephant Walk routine at baseball games, with the Springfield organist being a woman. Ironically, it was less than a year after the episode that Atlanta Braves female organist Carolyn King introduced the Tomahawk Chop chant to Atlanta Braves fans during home games; contrary to popular belief, it was not introduced to the team by Deion Sanders as a way to pay homage to the Florida State University Seminoles Tomahawk Chop.
*Capital City has restaurants named "The Penny Loafer" (shaped like a penny loafer), and The "Original Frenchies".
*Signs on the outfield wall at Springfield War Memorial Stadium include: "Royal Majesty-Clothing For the Obese or gangley Gentleman", "Moe's Tavern- Hit This Sign and Win a Free Well Drink", "Girdles 'N Such-Fancy Lingerie", "The Springfield Mall", and "The Jerky Hut".
*During the Capital City montage, the Army Reserve is honored by a statue of a soldier holding a briefcase and a rifle with the caption, "To the Brave Men of the Army Reserve".
*Homer's farewell speech near the end of act one is a reference to Lou Gehrig's in July 4, 1939.
*Bleeding Gums Murphy's rendition of the United States's National Anthem "" before the baseball game on power plant employee appreciation night is 26 minutes long. The digital clock behind him changes from 7:30 to 7:56. The moon can even be seen shifting in the sky during the song.
*One of the signs along the outfield wall at the Springfield Stadium is an ad for Royal Majesty. Royal Majesty is the name of the clothing store that Homer's assistant, Karl, took him to for his new suit fittings in season 2's "Simpson and Delilah".
*The story telling sequences inside Moe's Tavern was not originally planned as part of the episode and were added late in production. This is why the actual dialogue does not match up with the lip movements in these scenes.
*This is the first episode to have a guest star play as their real self. The guest star being Tony Bennett. Bennett also makes an appearance in season 14's "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade".
*Writer Ken Levine used to be a minor league baseball announcer, and not only wrote the dialogue, but voiced the commentators you hear in the episode.
*This is the third episode to have Homer's name somewhere in the title.
*The Baby Elephant Walk was featured on a trading card in The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album.
*Lisa's remark that after getting a taste of city life going back to Springfield would cause her to "wither like a hot house flower" is likely a reference to Wynton Marsalis's 1984 album Hot House Flowers.
*First episode to have a Gracie Films variant.
