* PorkyPigPronunciation: Lamb Chop was tripped up by the phrase "the San Diego Zoo", for some reason, and after two tries said, "You know, the zoo in San Diego."



** Which wasn't the problem; the problem was that there was already a planet with that name.

* SdrawkcabName: Zarc (a space alien) tells the kids that he's from the planet Yzarc, which is "crazy" backwards. When they ask him why that is so, he says it's because "people on Yzarc have so much fun!" They then ask him why the planet isn't called "funny" backwards, and his answer is that "funny" backwards would be "Ynnuf" ("enough").

Added DiffLines:

* PunnyName / ThemeNaming: Food, in this case. Lamb Chop is, of course, [[CaptainObvious named after lamb chops]], and Hush Puppy is named after a cornmeal-and-catfish snack made to keep dogs happy and quiet. However, Charlie Horse is the odd man out--a "charley horse" is a slang term for a pulled muscle.

Near the end of the song, Lamb Chop and Charlie admit to Shari that they don't even like eating jellybeans.
