Trivia
- This is the first episode to feature USA & Ecuador as the 2-country intro, the "Jumping Side to Side" warm-up, and the "Lift Your Feet to the Beat" dance.
- The narrator does not say "Somebody's coming!" before Grandmamma, Grandpappa, Mrs Lady, and Mr Man show up. Also, only Grandpappa peeks on screen before he, Grandmamma, Mrs. Lady & Mr. Man arrive. It's possibly because Brother and Sister are jumping around in the squeaky socks loudly that the narrator wouldn't have been able to be heard saying anything for more Storypeople coming.
- After the children say "Boohbah!" to give the big squeaky socks to Grandpappa, Grandmamma, Mrs Lady, and Mr Man, the short drum roll is not heard while the screen freezes. This is the only time that happens. It is unknown why that is or if it is heard in the US TV version.
- This is the second time the camera cuts to a larger angle while the screen is frozen, the first time being in "Pearly Shells".
- While the "somebody's coming" music plays again, Brother and Sister's squeaky socks are heard squeaking.
- This episode has the same present giving sequence as "Crossroads".
