Two music related ones: The vocals in Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice are done by Bootsy Collins, and the whistling in Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks is the so-called "oriental riff".

The oriental riff is just a pentatonic scale that goes back up one degree on the last note. The whistling thing is also in the pentatonic scale but is a bit different

I just now learned that Zoidberg's uncle Harold Zoid who used to be a comedian is probably a reference to Harold Lloyd who was also a classic film comedian from the silent era. *edit* they even look like each other! they wear the same glasses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEcTjhUN_7U Debunk This! has a new favorite as of 23:50 on Dec 24, 2020 |

Tungsten is just the English word for wolfram. I guess what threw me off all these years is the fact that it isn't an English word at all.

There’s a suburb of Stockholm that four elements named for it, thanks to a weird rock at the tungsten mine. The suburb is Ytterby, and they are yttrium, terbium, erbium, and ytterbium. Stockholm has its own element (holmium), so in turn do Scandinavia (scandium), Europe (europium), and the Earth (tellurium).
