Behind the scenes

  • The title is pun of the 1931 song "Sweet and Lovely".
  • Although Hector was already given his name in Fowl Weather, he is referred to as "Spike" in this cartoon.
  • Although he doesn't technically say his catchphrase, Tweety instead says, "I tawt I taw a peepin' tom tat," due to his play on the term "peeping tom".

Everlasting Influence

  • Tweety's line of dialogues "Give 'em a hit in the head!", as well as "And another!", are later reused in Flash in the Pain.
