Notes[]
- The crab from Salt Water Tabby and Muscle Beach Tom makes a cameo in one of servings.
- The crab is completely red (probably cooked, but still alive) in the episode. In "Salt Water Tabby" the crab was green and in "Muscle Beach Tom", the crab was mostly red with some green.
- Toodles is credited as "Señorita Cat" in this episode.
- El Presidente clobbering Tom with a guitar to similar to the Hanna-Barbera character Quick Draw McGraw's Zorro-like alter ego, El Kabong who clobbers villains in the head with a guitar.
- Tom may have won the contest, but he lost the cartoon because El Presidente decided to kill Tom by clobbering him with the Golden Guitar to death because he's also destroyed his palace by unintentionally literally bringing down the house, while leaving Jerry along with his date (Cherie) and the Señorita Cat (Toodles) happily dancing together on the rubble of the now-destroyed palace because El Presidente only held Tom responsible for the destruction of his palace.
- In real life, Spain is a monarchy with a prime minister (the president of the Government). So far, El Presidente in the cartoon is really the prime minister of Spain.
- This episode premiered a day before the 68th anniversary of the Tom and Jerry franchise.
Errors/Nitpicks[]
- During the earlier scenes, Jerry's date didn't wear any lipstick, but until she wiped the grape juice (or some kind of a purple beverage) off her face because of Tom and the Señorita Cat (Toodles) were making a vibration on top, she wears dark red lipstick and she wears it on her lips for the rest of the episode.
