The title is a reference to "How Stella Got Her Groove Back".
During Lisa's "Don't Rain On My Parade" number, we see characters from 'The King And I,' 'Pirates of Penzance,' 'Phantom of the Opera,' and 'The Lion King,' which was itself referenced in 'The Book of Mormon' starring guest star Anthony Rannels.
Early on the episode Bart attempts a prank and then himself falls for a similar one. A group looking like Jughead, Moose, Betty and Veronica, laugh at him and one says they wish Archie was still alive to see it. Later in the episode, Andrew Rannells appears as himself. He was the voice of Archie in the show Archie's Weird Mysteries and in The Archie's in Jug Man video.
