Editing Raisins (episode) (section)

===Shout Outs===
The episode offers a well known assortment of classic rock hits, including Cinderella's "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)"; Air Supply's "All Out of Love"; the Village People's "Y.M.C.A."; James Brown's "Living In America"; and Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey."

Raisins is an obvious parody of Hooters, right down to the skimpy clothing and endless chicken wings.  We even get a glimpse of the Raisins girl's "training": acknowledge any customer within 5 feet, giggle a lot and show off your raisins, sit down at the table while taking the order, and most importantly, provide the customers with physical contact.  All of this ensures better tips.

The Goth Kids all drink coffee at Benny's, a parody of of the chain restaurant Denny's.  

Henrietta, the chubby Goth girl, complains that her parents, "Won't let her go to the Skinny Puppy show because her heroin addict aunt is coming over."  She is apparently a big fan of this Canadian industrial rock band, as evidenced by the "Skippy Puppy" poster on her bedroom wall.  She also has a "Blauhaus" poster, a reference to the gloomy English rock band Bauhaus.

In a display of his adorably innocent charm, Butters invites Lexus to come over so that the two could watch The Exorcist on DVD.  Sadly, she declines.

The scene where Stan hallucinates Wendy's reflection in the water next to his own is a direct reference to the ending of the controversial 1978 anime kids' movie Ringing Bell.
