Notes/Trivia[]
- Alfalfa is known for slightly altering the lyrics of famous folk songs. In this skit, he sang "Oh My Darla", a parody of the folk song "Oh My Darling Clementine" (Darla doesn't appear in this skit). In "Cap'n Spanky's Showboat", he sang "I've Been Working on the Steamboat", an altered version of "I've Been Working on the Railroad", while giving the ship's paddle wheel a new paint job.
- This skit was originally aired in the third episode of Season 1, but was later moved to Epusode 12 in the same season. It was replaced by "Scoop Dupes" in subsequent airings of Episode 3. There is no certainty if the 1982 animators' strike may have been to blame for the delay in airing the remaining two 30-second vignettes.
