The near indecipherable and much-debated lyrics to the theme song are: "Hey smiling strange, you're looking happily deranged (Can you settle to shoot me,) and have you picked your target yet Hey Sandy...ai yai yai yai... Don't you talk back (yai yai yai) , Hey Sandy Four feet Away, end of speech its the end of the day We was only funning, but guiltily I thought... You had it coming, Hey Sandy, Don't Ya Talk Back, Hey Sandy." The line in parenthesis above has never been revealed by the band members, and "Can you settle to shoot me?" is only one of several interpretations.
This show started out as a series of one-minute shorts that aired during commercial breaks on Nickelodeon between 1990-1993.
Toby Huss's character of Artie, the Strongest Man in the World, was initially created at No Shame Theatre at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. In Huss' original iteration of the character, Artie was a patient in an insane asylum who would declare himself "the strongest man in the world" before playing the piano and then screaming; another actor would then spray him with a hose, causing him to calm down and repeat the routine. The character was reworked so that his delusions were real in order to make him more child-friendly.
Only Mike Maronna appears in all 39 episodes. Little Pete is not in "Yellow Fever"
Danny Tamberelli and Michael C. Maronna remained close friends even after the show ended, co-hosting a podcast together called "The Adventures of Danny and Mike".
