Line 42:
==Trivia==
The title of this episode is sometimes written as "Dye! Dye! My Darling!" with the extra exclamation mark. This hearkens back to the likely source of the title, the British movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanatic_%281965_film%29 ''Fanatic''], whose U.S. title was ''Die! Die! My Darling!'' Like the episode, the film features a conflict between two women.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
Jane's question, "The Lady or the Tiger?", is a reference to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady,_or_the_Tiger short story] written in 1882 by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_R._Stockton Frank R. Stockton]. The story's premise is that a man is placed in an arena and given a choice between two doors: behind one is a beautiful woman and behind the other is a fierce tiger.
"Dye! Dye!" ends with images from the "[[Is It Fall Yet?]]" film, before seguing into [[Alter ego|alter egos]].
===Ending song===
The episode is one of the few in "[[Daria: The Complete Animated Series]]" to retain a song during the end credits instead of a instrumental track. In the original, it was "Friend is a Four-Letter Word" by Cake. In the DVD version, a different song is used but nobody is sure what it actually is. While it may be a commissioned song, the lyrics trail off like there was more to it.
The lyrics are:
''They say to be for sure
They say you will all be fine
They say somewhere there's a cure that first must be refined
Forever I’ll be sure
Forever you’ll be fine
Forever eats you up because [trails off]''
