-->'''Marge:''' I think you move like a young Baryshnikov!
-->'''Snake:''' Nobody move or I'll blow your heads off!

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Yes, ''Film/PaintYourWagon'' is a real movie, and it was made ''after'' Creator/ClintEastwood became famous. Furthermore, it really ''was'' a campy musical that is either reviled or seen as a joke by most critics. But it was not about painting wagons, and does not feature the song heard in this episode. It also did not feature the character in the opening standoff, who resembles Creator/LeeVanCleef in ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore''.

'''Original air date''': January 4, 1998

* WhamLine: Snake arrives in the middle of a sung discussion of Bart's performance in "Springfield, Springfield," which he's embarrassed about.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: By the end of the episode, Snake is so fed up with music that he shoots the orchestra who plays the ending theme. [[UpToEleven And then he shoots the performers of the Gracie Films theme.]]

* SeriesContinuityError: In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E20TwoDozenAndOneGreyhounds Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]]", Bart claimed that "See My Vest" was "pretty catchy" and even hummed along with the tune. Here, the bit alongside Mr. Burns showing affection for "Little Monty" was removed (it goes from Burns and Smithers's "I really like the vest" conversation after the song to Bart saying, "We got to get the dogs out of here,") and in the FramingDevice, Bart claims that "it wasn't worth Burns' song and dance."

This is the first of [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E13TheJoyOfSect two episodes]] to be produced by David Mirkin (seasons 5–6 showrunner) instead of current showrunner, Mike Scully.

It's yet another ''Simpsons'' clip show episode. In this one, Homer and Bart rent a gritty, spaghetti Western called ''Film/PaintYourWagon'', but 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.

This is the first of two episodes to be produced by David Mirkin (the showrunner for seasons 5 and 6) instead of the current showrunner, Mike Scully.
