- Mike Logan: I'm shaking in my blue suede shoes.
  
  Blue Suede Shoes was a hit song for Elvis Presley. Carl Perkins wrote it.
  EDIT SHARE
- Clarence Carmichael: Okay, you got me. I shot the sheriff, but the deputy, I swear that was some other dude.
  
  C Square paraphrases the classic song I Shot The Sheriff, which was written by Bob Marley and has been recorded by Eric Clapton and many others.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mike Logan: You got tired of life on the cover of Rolling Stone?
  
  Rolling Stone magazine's name is synonymous with rock music. The magazine is said to have gotten its name from the Bob Dylan song Like A Rolling Stone. The song Cover of the Rolling Stone by Dr. Hook describes the frustrations of a band that it is very successful but can't seem to get the magazine's attention.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mike Logan: Besides being number one on Tipper Gore's hit list . . .
  
  Tipper Gore is the wife of former Vice President Al Gore. She campaigned against music that contained sex, violence or profanity. She believed that such music should contain warning labels and not be sold to minors. Reportedly, her crusade started after she heard the sexually explicit lyrics on Prince's Purple Rain album, which she had bought for her teenage daughter.
  EDIT SHARE
- This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Mike Tyson case. In 1991, Tyson was convicted of raping Desiree Washington, a contestant for Miss Black America, in an Indianapolis hotel room and served three years of a six year sentence. Tyson made headlines again when he bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear in a fight. In a 2003 interview with FOX's The Pulse, Tyson denounced both Washington and her mother, stating that now he 'really did want to rape her'. However, it's possible that the episode may also have been spurred by shock rocker GG Allin, who reportedly once raped a female fan.
