Lisa", but was unable to record the part; Daryl L. Coley filled in for him. "Dancin' Homer" was, together with "Old Money", selected for release in a video collection titled The Best of The Simpsons, which was released May 3, 1994. In 2000, it was included on video collection of selected sports-themed episodes, titled: The Simpsons: On Your Marks, Get Set, D'oh!. Other episodes included in the collection set were "Faith Off", "The Homer They Fall", and "Lisa on Ice". The episode was again included in the 2004 DVD release of the On Your Marks, Get Set, D'oh! set. The episode was also included on The Simpsons season two DVD set, which was released on August 6, 2002. Levine, Isaacs, Kirkland, Mike Reiss, and Matt Groening participated in the DVD's audio commentary. Cultural references Although it has been rumored Homer's chants and his nickname "Dancin' Homer" is a reference to American baseball fan Wild Bill Hagy, the writer of the episode Ken Levine has said he did not model the character after Hagy and did not even know of the reference until after the show aired. Hagy earned the nickname "The Roar from Thirty-Four" for his chants during the 1970s in section thirty-four at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. Homer spells out Springfield just like Hagy spelled O-R-I-O-L-E-S with his arms. A drunk Homer performs his first dance to the 1961 tune "Baby Elephant Walk" written by Henry Mancini. Bleeding Gums Murphy makes a 26-minute-long performance of the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the game where Homer performs his first dance. That's a parody to Marvin Gaye's Anthem version at the 1983 NBA-All Stars Game. Homer's line, "Today, as I leave for Capital City, I consider myself the luckiest mascot on the face of the earth," is a reference to Lou Gehrig's farewell speech in the 1942 baseball film The Pride of the Yankees. The song "Capital City" which Bennett sings over the closing credits is a parody of the 1980 song "New York, New York". The Capital City Goofball is a parody of the Philly Phanatic as well as the San Diego Chicken. The Capital City ballpark was designed after the Houston Astrodome.
