Allusions

There are allusions to Fiddler on the Roof everywhere. For example, Gwen Stefani's song "If I was a "Rich Girl", is an allusion to Tevye's song, "If I was a Rich Man". There is an allusion to Fiddler on the Roof in Desperate Housewives when Bre and Orson were arguing about circumsizing baby Benjamin. Orson doesn't want to do it because he was circumsized at age 5 and can remember the pain. He accuses Bre of just wanting to do it because of "tradition and conformity" and Bre mentions her Grandma Tzeitel, both of these are allusions to Fiddler on the Roof.
