## Production Information

* This episode, along with "Food of the Clods", is the season 1 finale of the series.
* On April 19, 2017, TeenNick's "The Splat", aired this episode along with "Food of the Clods" at 12:31am during the celebration of the 20th anniversary marathon.

* When the security guard grips Daggett after Norb, Treeflower, and The Friendly Chartreuse Bubblegum Machine sneak in, Daggett makes the same screech he made in "A Dam Too Far" when he fell over after leaning on Norb for a bit.

## Allusions

* The title of this episode is a take-off of the "Summer of Love", the summer from the late 1960's.
* **Woodstock** - The Awesome Beaver Pond Rock Festival, which was built above Norb and Dag's home, is a parody to Woodstock, the rock festival from the 1960's.
* ***The Treasure of the Sierra Madre*; *Blazing Saddles*** - Dag's line "Backstage passes? Backstage passes! We don't need no stinking backstage passes!" is a parody of the line "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!" from the 1948 film and also in the parodied version from the 1974 Mel Brooks film.
* **"Won't Get Fooled Again"** - When Treeflower and Norb are saying how they feel as if they've known each other their entire lives, the music playing in the background is the instrumental solo from the 1971 song by The Who.
* **"Music for the Royal Fireworks"** - The opening bars to the overture of this suite by Handel are heard when the firecracker that Dag is tied onto is lit.
* **The Beatles** - The intro to their song "All You Need Is Love" is heard in the background when Daggett, disguised as Ringo Starr, steps out of a limo. The Beatles song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is then briefly heard when Daggett tries to sneak into the festival when he has balloons of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison tied on his tail.
* **"Purple Haze"** - A riff from this 1967 song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience is briefly heard when The Friendly Chartreuse Bubblegum Machine arrives on stage.
