Behind the scenes

• The title is inspired by the 1942 musical film Yankee Doodle Dandy. Other than both films being about show business, they have no plot elements in common.
• The introductory music at the title card is also reminiscent of Yankee Doodle Dandy.
• It is the second Technicolor Looney Tunes short to feature Porky and Daffy, after My Favorite Duck.
• This short fell under the public domain in 1971 due to United Artists (the short's then-recent copyright holder) failing to renew the rights.
