** During the part where Homer tries to show Bart that the microphone he got him for his birthday is worth playing with, Homer was originally supposed to sing ''The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald'' instead of ''Convoy'', but Music/GordonLightfoot (the singer of ''The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald'') would only allow the song to be used if the producers got permission from the families of the twenty-nine crewmen who died on the ship (since the song is based on a real event). The producers found it to be too much work, so they scrapped it.
