Behind the scenes

• The title is a pun on the cheering phrase, "Rah! Rah! Rah!"
• This is the second Foghorn Leghorn short to not feature either Barnyard Dawg, Miss Prissy or Henery Hawk.
• Although the melody of "Freddy the Freshman" is played in a number of other Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, this short is the only one besides Freddy the Freshman and Sweet Sioux in which the lyrics of that song are sung.

Errors

• When Foghorn Leghorn says "Somethin', I say, somethin' went wrong", his beak doesn't move.
