] While writing, Jean thought that the songs would stretch out and make the episode the proper length, but it was considerably shorter than required. Several additional scenes, such as the "Itchy & Scratchy" segment, were added to pad out the episode. There was originally a sequence where Bart, Lisa and Shary Bobbins visit Patty and Selma who sing "We Love to Smoke", a parody of "I Love to Laugh". The song was cut because it wasn't getting any laughs, but the full version was included on the album "Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons" and a brief animated version was included as a deleted scene on the Season 8 DVD. During the end song, Homer can be seen dancing along but not singing; this was because the producers forgot to record Dan Castellaneta.

Many of the scenes were animated by Eric Stefani, a former member of No Doubt, who specialized in animation for musical numbers.

Casting

Julie Andrews was asked to guest star in the episode and agreed to take the role, although in the end, the producers went with regular Maggie Roswell. Nancy Cartwright mentions in her autobiography that this was because after hearing Roswell's reading, the producers cast her in the role instead.]
