Trivia: A Quahog is another name for a clam, thus all the jokes and places in town (like the drunken clam bar) the show makes reference about.
Trivia: One of the cutaway gags is about someone who survived 9/11 because he was late for work watching late night football. Seth MacFarlane missed his flight, which would have been one of the flights to crash into the World Trade Center, because his agent had given him the incorrect departure time. The plane was scheduled to depart at 7:45 AM and his agent had told him it was departing at 8:15 AM. By the time Seth arrived the boarding had been closed and he was told he would have to catch a later flight.

Family Guy Viewer Mail #1 - S3-E21
Trivia: During the second act (Super Griffins), just as Mayor West says he's going to roll around in toxic waste, the crowd gives him a standing ovation. Watch the bottom center of the screen; a bald man in a grey shirt grabs the butt of the woman in a green dress next to him for no reason.
You May Now Kiss The...Uh...Guy Who Receives - S4-E25
Trivia: Adam West's enigmatic remark, "I'm the only Mayor West that's in trouble," was an oblique reference to the late Jim West, the Religious Right former mayor of Spokane, Washington and an ardent foe of gay marriage, until his career was ended by a gay sex scandal.

Trivia: One of the best local jokes in the show is naming the Jr. High after the very notorious Providence mayor Buddy Cianci Jr., who is currently indicted and serving time.
Chosen answer: It's a real song called "Elvira". Originally by Dallas Fraizer in '66, however, this version seems to be the Oak Ridge Boys cover version. However, the mega lesbians skip the verse and just sing the chorus after the opening line.
