[edit] Rope-a-Dope strategy

"...allowing the opponent to land punches. Weathering the blows, the boxer lures the opponent into expending energy whilst conserving his/her own. If successful, the attacking opponent will eventually tire, creating defensive flaws which the boxer can exploit." This sounds like a description of this Simpsons episode, except it's taken directly from the Boxing article, from the "Rope-a-Dope" strategy as used by Muhammad Ali. Shawnc 05:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Song

Anyone know the song played at the end as clips of moe doing good deeds are shown? Dermo69

[edit] Other Song?

I would like to know the song that is being played when it's at the black and white scene? 206.132.94.6 14:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe that it's an original composition by Alf Clausen that is based on the song played in Raging Bull. Check out snpp.com for more info. -- Scorpion0422 02:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Yardley discusses this in the commentary, and no one corrects her assumption that it's an original piece of music by Clausen. Actually, it's a fairly famous passage by Leo Delibes from his opera 'Lakme' known as the "Flower Duet."

The song is a Clausen composition and not Lakme's flower duet. It is most definitely done in the style and sound of Lakme's flower duet but carefully listening to the original composition vocals and the montage vocals, one can easily determine that they are not the same. -Spirolli, 10:52 October 23, 2006 (EST)

[edit] Toy Story to Episode reference

I deleted the reference to Toy Story for two reasons. One, is the fact that this episode premiered 12 days before Toy Story was released. Furthermore, simpsons episodes take months to make and it is unlikely they would have used it in the episode. Two, is simply that the reference in trivia is nothing but a similarity and has no evidence of actual influence. -Spirolli 1:36 AM November 16 (EST)
