==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *Midway through the episode, D.W., Chiekh and the Brain walk across a zebra crossing, a reference to The Beatles, while saying, coincidentally, that they'll never become pop stars. | ||
*Learning false information about a place from movies and TV is exactly what [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] did in "[[Dear Adil]]". | |||
*The episode was produced before South Sudan gained its independence, so the song does not have a verse about that country. | |||
*The episode is the first to feature original music since ''[[Arthur, It's Only Rock 'n' Roll]]''. | |||
*Kalamazoo is located within the United States in Michigan. | |||
*D.W. pronounces Lesotho as Le-so-tho, not Le-so-to, as it is supposed to be pronounced. | |||
