Notes[]
- Bear dons a grayish sweater and tells us that "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood," an obvious reference to Mister Rogers from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Some music plays that sounds reminiscent of the theme of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and he suggests that maybe he should get a pair of sneakers. This was inspired by a comment by a New York critic who referred to Bear as "Mister Rogers in a fur coat."[1]
- Bear also imitates Elvis Presley commenting "Thank ya very much" and scatting in a style similar to that of the song "All Shook Up."
