Song

edit

What was that techno like song called. It plays when bart and Skinner are looking through the locker, its sort of like crazyfrog but is slightly different. Anyone know the song? Thanks.

The song in the episode sounds like it's a "parody" of the song called Axel F, which was the song of the film Beverly Hills Cop. And yes, that's where the Crazy Frog tunes comes from.

I like this version better, it's the first one I heard
I really think it should be mentioned that the song is only a variation of "Axel F", in that the notes of the main melody are reversed. Granted, there isn't a source for this little triviality (I tried mentioning it in the article a while ago, only for it to be reverted with the response of "Let's stick to what the source says"), but sources can sometimes be wrong, or in this case simply fail to mention something. For verification, all it takes is one listen of the original and it should be immediately clear that the version featured in the episode is not the actual song, regardless of what the commentary track says. Surely it wouldn't be encyclopaedic to state something that's false? If I don't get any opinion on it here, I'm going to be be bold and add it again. Same goes for "Radio Bart".

It is also not the first time that the variation of "Axel F" is used in the series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 20:52, 29 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hard to duspend disbelief

edit

Anybody notice how the alley narrowed around the car, but after that nobody had any trouble getting around it? Wiggum and Lou are both on one side of the car at one point with comfortable space between them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 00:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Repetition

edit

How many times does it need to be forced down our throats that Nancy Cartwright got an emmy nomination for her voice-over work in this episode? And yes, I know, ironic that in posting this I am merely raising repetition :-P 78.86.230.62 (talk) 15:18, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

It is only mention twice, once in the lead (which is a summary of the article) and once in the reception section. Theleftorium 15:25, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

"Sure we have order, but at what price?"

edit

Am certain that Milhouse's words are a reference to something. Anyone any idea what? Martyn Smith (talk) 23:55, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
