In the episode The Regina Monologues Bart and Lisa become addicted to English candy and start running around while Iggy Pop 's song "Lust for Life" plays in the background. This is a reference to the opening scene of the film. They even pass a similar building as in the film. The scene where Bart and Lisa lie on their back while Maggie Simpson crawls on the ceiling and twists her head around is a reference to the scene where Renton (Ewan McGregor) tries to overcome his addition and hallucinates.

So popular was trainspotting in its early years that the Beatles, in a desperate attempt to win back the attention of the wider public, released a track entitled "yellow submarine", an oblique but significant attempt at promoting the sport of tagging submarines. Little did the famous four realise the true popularity of trainspotting and as the sport spread to the Americas they were forced to look on abjectly from their submarines, a few dedicated fans sullenly repainting washed out yellow spots upon the four's submersible. You are talking total crap and obviously on drugs or some such other substance. Trainspotting was a national pasttime in the 1950s to the 1970s and provided many young people a purpose in life. Your comments are highly offensive and you should be totally ashamed. Hopefully you will die early and leave the rest of us to reminisce on times gone by and an enjoyable hobby. Haters gonna hate.
