This episode was originally written as "A Bad Case of the Larrys" until Betsy Sodaro came in to perform as Puddin' Peggy. Her performance was so good that they replaced the "Larrys" with the "Sherris", and cast Sodaro in the role.
Betsy Sodaro, who voices the Sherris, also voices the role of Bloom Berry on Cartoon Network's "OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes."
Aimee Mann, who voices the Moon, plays a bar singer in an episode of the FX series "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story," performing a cover of the Cars' song "Drive."
The original song "Close the Freezer, Open your Heart" was inspired by the popular songs released for charitable causes in the 1980s.
Michael Bolton filmed his scenes on a bare bones set with one green screen and a playback track.
