Trivia

• The geeks who are absent and don't appear in the series are Linda Cardellini, James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel.
• When we see DJ Lance Rock as Sparkles goes up solo, he does not say "Bye!", he only mouths it silently.
• Mark Mothersbaugh is absent in this episode too.
• This is Sparkles' 1st talking appearance.
• Super Mr. Superhero in person is absent in this episode.
• In the Dancey Dance segment, Martin is dressed as an angel, Samm is dressed as a butterfly, and John is dressed as an airplane.
• "Up, Up, and Away" is the only song not to be a Yo Gabba Gabba! original.
• At the end of the episode, DJ Lance Rock says, "I had so much fun today!" instead of "I had a great time today!".
• When the Yo Gabba gang flies with Sparkles, they see Barbara, a baby owl, which is Cheebo's favorite, birds, seagulls from Boat, butterflies, a bread bat, magic bubbles, a woodpecker in a plane, worms on paper planes, and Lloyd the alien, a deer, and a single Oskie Bug in his spaceship.
• This is the first time the jingle occurred during the end instead of the beginning due to the Balloon Ride being in the end. The second will be in "Mermaids".
• This episode was filmed on the 2nd to 15th October 2009.
• Eden was filmed on the 3rd October 2009.
• Porter was filmed on the 9th October 2009.
• Brennen was filmed on the 15th October 2009.
• The Red Balloon song was mistaken by a jingle after it occurred during the very beginning where the jingle is supposed to happen (an example of Penny Osborne’s videos of the jingle's high tone was using The Red Balloon by Frequent Flyer in high tone and not the jingle Balloon Ride by Super Furry Animals. The Red Balloon by Frequent Flyer is not the jingle even though it felt like it).
• This episode and Clubhouse have the Dancey Dance segment before the jingle.

Goofs

• When Martin and John say, "We're flying...", Samm doesn't say it.
