Uhp, nope, nope she's gonna breathe on it first, wiping it on her blouse...She takes a bite, chews it once, twice, three times, four times, stops...

What might be right for you may not be right for some.

[edit] One If by Clam, Two If by Sea

  • Stewie's attempt to teach Eliza to speak proper English is a parody of the British musical My Fair Lady, in which a phonetics professor finds an impoverished girl, also named Eliza, and tries to train her to speak so "properly" that he could pass her off as a duchess. Seth MacFarlane based Stewie's voice on actor Rex Harrison, who played the professor in the 1964 film version of My Fair Lady. The song Stewie and Eliza sing in this episode is a parody of The Rain in Spain.

[edit] Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows

[edit] When You Wish upon a Weinstein

  • Peter decides that he needs a Jew to handle his money in an elaborate musical number, entitled in the DVD scene selection as "When You Wish Upon a Star of David," based on When You Wish upon a Star.

[edit] Blind Ambition

  • At the conclusion of the episode, when Peter receives a medal for rescuing local bartender Horace from a fire, the song "The Throne Room and Finale", which is the closing song of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, plays.

[edit] Don't Make Me Over

[edit] The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire

  • When Peter mentions that he's got a knack for delivering bad news, he and four others of a barbershop quintet are seen giving a man in a hospital the news that he has AIDS, singing "You have AIDS" and letting him know that he's got full-blown AIDS instead of HIV.
  • To cheer Cleveland up after being kicked out of his house by his wife, Loretta, Peter sings him a part of The B-52s' "Rock Lobster".
  • At the very end of the episode, Cleveland and Quagmire have a friendly boxing match because Quagmire feels that he got off too easy. The two circle around the ring and then throw their punches, but the scene suddenly freezes and "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is played. This is reminiscent to the end of Rocky III in which Rocky and Apollo share a friendly boxing match.

[edit] Petarded

  • The scene where Lois's brain sings "I'm a tumour" uses the tune from Falco's 1985 hit song "Rock Me Amadeus".
  • The song that Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland sing about Peter being retarded is a parody of The Telephone Hour from the hit Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie. This song is only present on the DVD. It was never aired on TV as Standards had issues with the number of times the words "retarded" and "slow" were said during the song.
  • A cutaway parodies recent iPod commercials, with Stewie dancing in silhouette. The song in the background is the 1984 hit "The Warrior" by Scandal.

After Brian states that he finally understands "those songs on the radio," he sings the opening lyrics to the 1985 hit "At This Moment" by Billy Vera.

[edit] 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter

[edit] Breaking Out Is Hard to Do

[edit] Model Misbehavior

[edit] Peter's Got Woods

[edit] The Perfect Castaway

[edit] Jungle Love

[edit] Season 5

[edit] PTV

  • The opening theme parodies the opening of The Naked Gun, with the same music from the movie being used.
  • Peter, Brian, and Stewie perform a Family Guy original song entitled, "The Freakin' FCC". The song makes a lot of jokes about the FCC's censorship and their opinions on the group themselves. While Peter sings the FCC Song, the line "You're gonna have to do her with your ding-a-ling" is a reference to Chuck Berry's song "My Ding-a-Ling", a song that was a double entendre. The song also makes many references to previous Family Guy episodes, and includes a few fake scenes obviously too offensive for TV, which are shown too fast to make out with any clarity.

[edit] Brian Goes Back to College

  • The main theme song of The A-Team is played a couple times throughout the episode.
  • A flashback shows Stewie performing at the Woodstock Festival, where he tells the hippies not to smoke weed. He then begins to sing a song praising "Establishment".
  • A cutaway parodies Ashlee Simpson’s lip synching snafu on Saturday Night Live. The background music is a male singer performing "Ol' Man River" from the musical Show Boat.
  • The scene in which Brian and Stewie work out in preparation for Brian's final exam is a parody of Rocky Balboa's training session for his fight with Ivan Drago in the movie Rocky IV. Brian goes as far as yelling "DRAGO!!" at the peak of the mountain, as Rocky did in the movie. This is the second Rocky reference in this episode. As in the film, the song in the background is "Heart's On Fire" by John Cafferty.

[edit] The Courtship of Stewie's Father

[edit] The Fat Guy Strangler

  • The song the cavemen sing is Billy Joel's "The Longest Time."

[edit] The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz

[edit] Brian Sings and Swings

[edit] Patriot Games

  • The song Peter sings while showboating after a touchdown, "Shipoopi," is from the 1957 Broadway play The Music Man.
  • The Silly Nannies dance around a maypole and sing Gilbert and Sullivan's "'Tis Twelve, I Think" from The Sorcerer.
  • Peter sings for a car dealership.

[edit] I Take Thee Quagmire

  • Peter cruises though outer space in a parody from the 1980s kids' show The Great Space Coaster while the theme music from the show plays.
  • While faking a dinosaur eating Quagmire, Peter hums the Jurassic Park theme.

  • A cutaway scene features Peter in a jail surrounded by inmates who force him to strip, squeeze his boobs together, and sing the chorus from Kelis's 2004 hit "Milkshake".

[edit] Deep Throats

[edit] Peterotica

  • Quagmire performs a parody of "Make 'Em Laugh" from Singin' in the Rain.
  • In a film entitled The Picnic, Jude Law and Renée Zellweger have their picnic ruined by ants. Zellweger, whose face is distorted to look like that of an anteater in what Peter refers to as her "scrunch-face routine", proceeds to consume the ants while Del Amitri's "Roll to Me" plays.
  • Peter sings the famous Sabre Dance theme from Aram Khachaturian's Gayane ballet whilst riding a unicycle.
  • While Peter and Carter are trying various schemes to make money, Peter sings the the theme from Dawson's Creek (Paula Cole's "I Don't Want To Wait") with changed lyrics while making a TV show called "Quahog Creek".
