The title is a parody of the Neil Diamond song title "Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon."
One of the college protesters Luanne brings to the state fair shouts "No blood for charcoal!" This is a parody of the old "No blood for diamonds!" slogan used by those protesting diamond mines in the 1960s.
This episode contains an interesting geographical error; Arlen is located in fictional Heimlich county which is stated/implied to be near or next to Travis county in other episodes (such as in the season 8 episode, Après Hank, le Deluge). This would place the Hill's & Gang closer to Austin and being 4 hours from Dallas where Fair Park is located. The shots would imply it to be the grounds at Fair Park as Big Tex is highlighted in the episode. Because the Hill's would be near Austin, their quick travel between Rainey St. and Fair Park is an unsolved mystery best left to answer by Dale.
Brittany Murphy's first collaboration with Elijah Wood.
