1A very MusicalEpisode, in which Homer starts a band [[RunningGag (again)]] while Will Forte (from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', ''WesternAnimation/SitDownShutUp'', ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', and ''Conan'') guest stars as the owner of King Toot's (the music instrument store next to Moe's Tavern) who returns with an ax to grind against Moe. Sammy Hagar also guest stars as himself.

5* ContinuityNod:
6** When Homer breaks into the band's dressing room, a picture on the wall shows [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E1HomersBarbershopQuartet him, Barney, Skinner, and Apu during their time as the Be Sharps singing band]].
7** When Sprawl-Mart is shown, the slogan underneath it says, "Still not a parody of Walmart", calling back to its appearance in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E11OnAClearDayICantSeeMySister On a Clear Day, I Can't See My Sister]]".
8* ContinuitySnarl: This episode seems to ignore the fact that Homer has been repeatedly shown to be a talented musician.
9* DrivenByEnvy: Homer makes it clear to Lisa that this is how he feels about Apu leaving Covercraft for Sungazer.
10* InsistentTerminology: When Homer is accused of being jealous of Apu, he says he's not jealous but envious. After Homer explains the difference between "jealous" and "envious", Lisa consults her dictionary and realizes he's right.
11* SingingVoiceDissonance: {{Discussed|Trope}} when Apu demonstrates his singing abilities for Homer's band:
