Trivia

 * Although the song that is sung at the performance is "Monster in the Mirror", everybody refers to this song as "The Wubba Wubba Wubba Song", and only a few lyrics are sung, leaving out the "Monster in the Mirror" parts.


 * In this episode, Gordon says that he, Bob, and Luis were in a band during the 1970s. However, in real life this did not happen in the 1970s, They were already adults when the series began in 1969, and Luis wasn't around untill 1971. However, most kids watching probably wouldn't know or care.


 * While Luis wasn't on the show when it began, he still could have been friends with Gordon and Bob as teenagers, even though he wasn't on the show untill Season 3.


 * Luis talks about being in love with maria, even though they weren't actually in love on the show untill 1988.


 * The young, teenage Gordon has an afro, possibly trying to look like Matt Robinson (the original Gordon).


 * Bob's remark that eh hopes that maria doesn't break up the band is a refference to Yoko Ono breaking up The Beatles. However, it is never explained why the band ended.
