== 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 [[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]] series.

=== Fast Forward ===
*A "cabana boy" would again be mentioned in [[disconnected]].
