Fun fact: When they got Paul McCartney to be himself along with his wife Linda in Lisa the Vegetarian (Sadly in 1998 3 years after this episode aired Linda died from breast cancer), Paul and Linda McCartney were only willing to lend their voices for The Simpsons under the condition that Lisa would be a vegetarian for the rest of the series as Paul and Linda were vegetarians themselves.

Some references I've noticed on the St Beatles Catedral: The lyric from the end of The End (Abbey Road) is engraved in quotes The walking silhouettes of the group are engraved as tribute to Abbey Road There are images of the band which call back to the cover of Let It Be The names Brian Epstein and Sir George Martin appear. These are the names of their manager and their producer. Other names that appear but you can't see that well: Hey Jude (the song of the same name) Eleanor Rigby/Father McKenzie (Eleanor Rigby) Lady Madonna (the song of the same name) Mother Mary (Let It Be) Mother Superior (Happiness Is A Warm Gun) Also in the glass: a yellow submarine and a green apple To the left side, you will see the Sgt Peppers logo along with 4 animals. A blackbird (Blackbird) A walrus (I Am The Walrus) A bulldog (Hey Bulldog) and an Octopus (Octopus' Garden) There are some more, one can go look up a high resolution image of it on the internet

[@nikki2giovi]

What a fascinating drawing! I just spotted some diamonds in the sky above the submarine. In the opposite window i can see some kind of cowboy dog but I am not able to get the reference.. maybe the fella from the guideons bible song?

The song is best known from an instrumental version by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, released as a B-side to the single "What Now My Love" and on their 1965 album Going Places. The album was a No. 1 hit in the U.S. and the single peaked at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and gained a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental. "Spanish Flea"[1] featured Alpert's trumpet over a Latin rhythm backing.
