Fun Facts
Remarks
- Flans, noted as being on guitar, holds his guitar but never actually plays it. Instead, he only plays the shaker.
- The video kind of "skips" between the lines "Tropical lima beans" and "When you're away it's like a void", due to editing out of the extra DVD lyrics.
- Just like the first Puppet Jam, this one is also longer on DVD, with additional lyrics.
Inside References
- The misspelling of laser as lazor originated in band names.
- There is another mention of beans.
Real-World References
- Lasers and similar items that are "set to stun" are usually references to the popular Star Trek series.
Fast Forward
- A "cabana boy" would again be mentioned in disconnected.
