Trivia

• The guests who attend the dance contest with the animated fish are Shelly and the Saltwater Fish Band from "Boat" and Starsky from "Superhero".
• This is the second episode in which DJ Lance does not say, "Let's remember all the fun things we did today!"
• This is the final episode where foofa cries. The first was Together when Muno bit her hand in "Don't Bite Your Friends".
• This is the only episode in which DJ Lance says "Welcome back, guys!" instead of "But first...".
• When DJ Lance Rock says, "Welcome back, guys!", he says the thing from Season 1 as "…go back and remember what…" instead of "…remember all the fun things…".
• DJ Lance says, "We had such an awesome mermaid adventure!" instead of "All right! Today sure was an exciting day!".
• The Super Music Friends Show appears on the Oceanwide TV instead of the small portable red one.
• The characters who watch the Super Music Friends Show are Foofa, Toodee, and Tammy.
• This is the final appearance of The Swami, but he will not appear in the new episodes.
• DJ Lance does not say, "Yo! It's almost time to go!" in his normal voice. Instead, he echoes it.
• Also at the very beginning and end of the Super Music Friends Show segment, Tammy introduces it instead of DJ Lance as he announces per usual and Foofa and Toodee joining her shout "Listening and dancing to music is… AWESOME!" before cutting to the Numbers segment.
• A child named Tyler Russell doesn't appear in this episode, but he's credited.
• This is the second time DJ Lance does not say, "Listening and dancing to music is… AWESOME!". The first time he didn't say it was in "Big".
• This is the second time DJ Lance does not say, "It's starting!". The first time this happened was in "Day Camp".
• Muno, Brobee, and Plex don't appear in the first and second segments.
• This is the third appearance of the Narwhal. The episode he debuted in was "Boat" and he also appeared in "Adventure", but only in the story of a girl named Pookie, who imagined herself going on a submarine adventure with her father.
• When Plex beams everyone out of the watering hole after they said bye to Tammy, and the Sea Queen, Muno and Brobee's scuba helmets get taken off and Foofa and Toodee become their normal selves again.
• This is the 2nd time the jingle occurred during the end segment instead of the beginning, the first was in "Flying." On top of this, the same ending segment didn’t start with "I like to dance" and instead went backwards, starting with a filler with a kid throwing his ball into the fish to the Jingle and then the "I like to dance" scene in the end.
• The first song in the first segment, "Swim, Swim, Swim", gets cut short due to Foofa accidentally dropping her doll into the watering hole and the rest of the segment has her and Toodee meeting Tammy who turns them into mermaids and they both dive into the water.
• This is the last episode to have a Numbers segment.
• This is the third and final episode in which there is an extra scene that segues into the Closing Segment (in that case, Foofa, Toodee, Muno, and Brobee hear DJ Lance shout "Yo! It's almost time to go!" and say bye to Tammy, the Sea Queen, Turbo, Starsky, Shelly and the Saltwater Fish Band, and the rest of the underwater fish gang who wish them good luck before Plex beams them out of the waterhole and back into Gabba Land after telling them that it's time to go). The previous ones are "Gooble" and "Shopping."
• When Foofa and Toodee, who used to be themselves say, "Hooray!" as mermaids to join Tammy, who shows them the way to the Mer-kingdom where the dance contest happens during their underwater adventure with her by guiding them there, what they mean is "Geronimo!".
• When Muno says, "She's right!", he and Brobee jump into the water with their diving helmets on.
• When Tammy says, "I almost forgot! Another rad thing about being a mermaid is, we're magic!", what she means is "Yo Gabba Gabba!" to transform Foofa and Toodee into mermaids.
• In this episode, Tammy says, "I almost forgot!", just like DJ Lance Rock in "Fairy Tale" about the Super Music Friends Show and Barbara in "Nature" about badges she gives them to.
• When Foofa and Toodee become mermaids, they don't need their water wings anymore, despite the fact that they're not used.
