* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Even though this episode was rated TV-G in America (when it premiered. The reruns have it at its proper rating of TV-PG), it got away with showing Snake holding the family at gunpoint (and firing said gun during the credits), a reference to Milhouse being gay and clips from the risqué season eight episode "Bart After Dark".

It's yet another ''Simpsons'' clip show episode. In this one, Homer and Bart rent a gritty, spaghetti Western that turns out to be a cheesy musical. Upset over the turn of events, Homer voices his dislike for musicals and singing, and the rest of the family show them (with the help of some conveniently-obtained videos) that a lot of The Simpsons' memories include singing and big musical numbers -- which gets interrupted when resident criminal Snake Jailbird holds the family hostage.
