Do not fill this in!==Behind The Scenes== Trey is a big fan of The Cure and personally asked for lead vocalist Robert Smith to make a guest appearance as himself. Recorded over the telephone, Smith wasn't told the context of any of his lines and only the first reading of each line were used. Matt and Trey thought it would be funnier that way. ===Where Did The Idea Come From=== Trey and Matt had a strong desire to mock Barbara Streisand on <i>South Park</i> as they found her singing voice annoying. Their distaste grew when she publicly announced to never visit Colorado again (its residents were to her a "bunch of hicks") once the state passed Amendment 2, an amendment preventing homosexuals from being considered a protected class. This episode is also a massive homage to many Japanese monster or <i>kaiju</i> films. Mecha-Streisand is a parody on Mechagodzilla, mechanical doppelganger of Godzilla; Leonard Maltin's robot is a thinly disguised superhero Ultraman; Sidney Poitier portrays a fire-breathing turtle very similar to Gamera; and Robert Smith morphs into a giant moth suspiciously like Mothra.
