Music
The score was composed by Eugene Poddany, and orchestrated by Milt Franklyn. It is the first of several shorts in late 1951 where Poddany and Franklyn fill in as musical directors, due to Carl Stalling recovering from a brain injury at the time.
Tweety sings his own tune from All a Bir-r-r-d, in two instances while at the hotel room.
