Shoe & Shoelace is a Russian-Soviet cartoon that Stewie watches when he fantasizes about being sent to Siberia for wrecking Brian's car in "Stewie Goes for a Drive".
Expressing the Soviet ideal that capitalists and labor need each other for both to prosper, the cartoon notes that the shoe and shoelace need each other to survive.
The music in Shoe & Shoelace is reminiscent of that of the former National Anthem of the U.S.S.R. or the current National Anthem of the Russian Federation.
