The Curse of an Aching Heart (Barbershop Quartet)

Kirkland enjoyed directing the episode because unlike other episodes he directed, he did not experience any trouble animating "Homer's Barbershop Quartet". The animators liked creating the Beatles gags and enjoyed the barbershop music. After the animators synchronized the audio track, music, and animation, they "just fell in love" with it. They also enjoyed working on the choreography of the Be Sharps and trying to match the characters' movements with the music.

They were inspired by the Beatles film Let It Be , including the shots of the band in the recording studio where they decide to break up. Kirkland did not think there was anything "spectacular" in the episode's animation, but he and his animation team "just loved" working on it.

The Dapper Dans' singing was intermixed with the normal voice actors' voices, often with a regular voice actor singing the melody and The Dapper Dans providing backup. George Harrison guest stars in the episode as himself.

When Harrison arrived at the recording studio in West Los Angeles to record his lines, the casting director told the episode's show runners , Al Jean and Mike Reiss , that Harrison was coming and that they were not allowed to tell anybody about it because it was intended to be a secret to the staff. Jean, Reiss, and the show's creator Matt Groening went to see Harrison in the studio, and when they returned to the writer's room, Groening said, "Guess who I just met? Groening recalls that Harrison was "pretty glum", and he was unenthusiastic when the staff asked him questions about the Beatles.

However, when Groening asked Harrison about the Wonderwall Music album, he suddenly "perked up" because it was one of his solo albums that he was rarely questioned on. Harrison's guest appearance was one of Groening's favorites because he was "super nice" and "very sweet" to the staff.

It was chosen to air as the fifth season's premiere episode because it guest starred Harrison. The Fox network executives wanted to premiere with Conan O'Brien 's episode " Homer Goes to College " because of its parody of the comedy film National Lampoon's Animal House , but the writers felt "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" would be a better choice because of Harrison's involvement.

The episode makes several references to the Beatles. Moe's Tavern changes its name to Moe's Cavern, a reference to the Cavern Club in Liverpool where the Beatles frequently performed in the early s. The name is a reference to a controversial quote made by John Lennon in Bart references this by asking, "What did you do [to lose your popularity]?

Screw up like the Beatles and say you were bigger than Jesus? That was the title of our second album. This is a parody of the Sgt. The group performing atop Moe's Tavern at the end of the episode is a parody of the Beatles' impromptu concert on the Apple Corps rooftop during their Get Back recording sessions in , hence George Harrison's line, "It's been done.
