When Lois is switching channels on her listening device/radio, one of the transmissions she picks up is playing the Lois and Clark theme song.
Perry: Now, Lois, don't you have anything to say to Clark? Lois: Uh, right. Clark, I, uh, I'm very, uh . . . Clark: Surprised? Lois: Stunned, shocked, in need of oxygen.
Lois: Clark, have I lost something? Clark: Your fashion sense.
Lois: So, how did I rate as a date? Clark: Oh, A-plus. Lois: I hung on your arm decoratively. Clark: You did. Lois: Fawned appropriately. Clark: Absolutely. Lois: And just faded into the background during your big moment. Clark: You were beautiful yet invisible. Lois: Mmm, make me go through another night like that, and I'll rip out your spleen.
Superman: Well, I better be going. Lois: Wait! (Lois gives Superman a rose) Superman: What's this? Lois: It's a rose. Superman: What's this for? Lois: Do I have to have a reason? (Lois kisses Superman on the cheek) Superman: I guess not... good night, Lois. Lois: Good night.
This episode was nominated for several awards: an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Drama Series", and a C.A.S. Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Television Series".
Michael des Barres, who plays rock and roller Lenny Stoke, was the lead singer of several bands, including Detective and Power Station (replacing Robert Palmer).
Camden: (to Lois and Clark) Are you my 'appointment in Samarra'?! The story Appointment in Samarra, by Somerset Maugham, tells the story of a man who meets Death in Baghdad and tries to hide from him in the town of Samarra, not knowing that Samarra was where he was fated to die.
Lenny: (as he uses sound as a weapon against Superman) This is your brain, and this is your brain on sound. Any questions? This is a nod to a popular anti-drug campaign commercial from 1987 that used a visual of an egg as representing a person's brain, and then the same egg being fried as a person's brain on drugs.
Lois: The nutty professor? Come on.
Lois is referring to the 1963 comedic film The Nutty Professor, starring Jerry Lewis as a crazed scientist whose serum makes him physically attractive (temporarily).
Stoke: I have this problem, it's kind of a Rain Man thing.
Rain Man is the title of a 1988 Academy-award winning film. One of the main characters, Raymond, is terrified of flying in airplanes and this fear is later important to the film's plot.
Jimmy: Wow. The first sound that can put a whole room to sleep... Lois: No, I think Yanni did it first. Yanni is a "New Age" keyboard artist who many consider to be quite boring.
