The title refers to It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963), the classic comedy in which several people compete to search for a hidden fortune.
While Sam, Carla, Frasier, Norm and Cliff are searching for the money belt, the Motown hit "Money (That's What I Want)" by Barrett Strong can be heard. This song would be reused a year and five months later in the family comedy Getting Even with Dad (1994) while Ted Danson (the title character) is again searching for hidden money.
