* HollywoodToneDeaf: During first rehearsal, Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, and Ralph sing horribly and way off key. Smash fixes this by using a sound synthesizer to make their voces sound like N'Sync. Near the end of the episode, Smash's superior cuts the power to the synthesizer during a live concert, reverting the boys' voices to normal, their now horrible singing scaring the audience away.

* SingingVoiceDissonance: PlayedForLaughs when the Party Posse is singing with the voice enhancers. They're pre-pubescent boys singing in deep male teenage/young adult voices. It's especially funny how Ralph Wiggum's voice is the deepest out of all the four.

** "Yvan eht nioj"

to:

** Parodied with "Drop Da Bomb"; the lyrics and music video are blatantly dripping with military imagery and it's obviously propaganda, but the {{Backmasking}} "Yvan eht nioj"nioj" is treated as the most heinous part of it.
