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

Real-World References

  • Lasers and similar items that are "set to stun" are usually references to the popular Star Trek series.
