According to a notation by Washington Irving, the character of Ichabod Crane was based on a schoolteacher whom Irving befriended in Kinderhook, New York, in 1809. In the audio commentary, the episode's director, Mike Figgis, points out how the scene where Christopher and Tony Blundetto dig up the skeletal remains of a man Christopher knew (and killed) symbolically referenced the famous Yorick scene in Hamlet. Christopher, as in episodes before, once again mistakenly calls Emil Kolar a Czechoslovakian when, in fact, he was a Czech-American. Paulie Walnuts once confused Chechens with Czechoslovakians in "Pine Barrens." When Uncle Pat remembers where the missing bodies are buried, Christopher likens him to Johnny Mnemonic. When Tony is flipping channels, obscure Cartoon Network show Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? is seen on the TV. At a diner, Tony B mentions to Tony that Christopher has the same car (Hummer H2) as Schwarzenegger. Tony then, in a malapropism (the way Schwarzenegger did), calls it "the Humvee." The voice on the TV program about terrorist threats to ports is Jim Lehrer of the PBS NewsHour. Tony misquotes the Phoebe Snow song "Harpo's Blues" (from her eponymous 1974 album) as "Harpo's Song" when he is deliberately attempting to provoke Janice during this episode's final scene. At dinner, when Bobby Jr. makes reference to a “...G5. It has 64-bit...” he is referring to a Power Mac G5. Music The piano song played at the wedding shop visited by Christopher and Adriana is "Music Box Dancer," written by Frank Mills. The song played at the Bada Bing! before Tony beats Georgie up is "Stop" by Joe Henry, which Henry's sister-in-law Madonna has performed as "Don't Tell Me". The song played over the end credits is a live version of "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" by The Kinks, which is featured in their 1996 album To the Bone.
