Simpsons reference or have I made it up in my head.

Watching Boys From The Blackstuff tonight, and at the start of Yosser's episode as his kids are on boats leaving him, did it inspire the Simpsons scene when everyone got in a boat with their soul after Bart sold his?

It's also referenced in the scene where Homer headbutts the social worker.
