Behind the scenes

 * Both Baba Looey and Quick Draw can't sing
 * Baba Looey speaks Spanish in this short, However since Daws Butler does not know Spanish, it's reduced to food and sterotypical Spanish phrases like Arriba. and they said Speedy Gonzales was a sterotype.
 * Baba Looey sings the theme song for the show when talking about Quick Draw.
 * In that same scene, Baba doesn't say QD's name as "Queek Straw", implying he calls him that on purpose.
