== Notes ==
* An Associated Artists Productions Eastmancolor print of the short was found when the episode of Toonheads, "Crooner Toons" debuted in 2003.https://archive.org/details/Toonheads_227_Crooner_Toons The two home video releases used the USA 1995 Turner print; hence, no print with the original ending card was ever released on home video.
* Bing Crosby filed a lawsuit alongside Paramount Pictures to suppress this short for portraying him in what he considered a defamatory light. Crosby objected to his portrayal as a "vainglorious coward" and the imitation of his voice, and his law firm wanted the distribution of this cartoon to end. However, they appear to have lost their case.
* Several items with the word "Portis" appear throughout this short. This is a reference to animator Tubby Millar, who grew up in Portis, Kansas.
* Unlike other shorts released at the time, this cartoon does not have quotation marks around its title.
