This scene was re-used and re-lengthed for Dr. Rottenstein.

**The Bing Bang Song**
Stephanie sings "Bing Bang" and dances along with Pixel and Ziggy next to the Mayor's House.

Songs* Bing Bang: An adaptation of the song "Bing Bang Dingalingaling" from "Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ".
* Enginn Latur í Latabæ: A snippet of this song can be heard during the ending of "Let's Go!"

Goofs* When Sportacus goes to Ziggy's house, one of his glasses are black.
* When Ziggy goes to the bathroom to vomit, the "Z" mark disappears.

Trivia* Though Trixie and Stingy weren't shown to have puppets in the pilot, they were shown to have had maquettes made of them as displayed on the old LazyTown website in and several old magazine clippings.
* While Magnús Scheving still played Sportacus in the pilot, his voice was dubbed over by an unknown American actor. It is unknown why, although some fans suspect it may be because Magnús wasn't as fluent in English at the time.
* Ziggy looks extremely different:
	+ His head is smaller.
	+ His hands are bigger.
	+ He has indigo eyes, while in the other episodes he is blue.
	+ His trunk and his belly is bigger than in future episodes.
