Fun Facts

Remarks

  • If you listen to this song in stereo, the "dooj" sound is "panned," or slowly goes from one speaker to the other.

Real-World References

  • Strong Bad yelling "FOOTBALL!" at the end of the song is likely a reference to a techno song by "The Fans" entitled Olé Olé Olé / The Name of the Game. In the track, a voice chants "the name of the game" and a soccer crowd responds "FOOTBALL!"
  • Dance Revolution is a possible reference to the game Dance Dance Revolution.
