Notes
- While Woody is voiced by Kent Rogers, his singing is recycled audio of Mel Blanc (Woody's original voice) extracted from Woody Woodpecker. The song would make a reappearance in Hot Rod Huckster, performed by Grace Stafford.
- Everybody thinks I'm crazzzy!
- Yesiree, that's me, that's me!
- That's what I'm cracked up to be,
- I chop a hole in every tree!
- Knock on wood!
- KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
- Well, Knock on wood!
- KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
- So I'm crazy, but what, what, what can I do?
- So are you!
Also, beginning with this cartoon Woody's appearance has a minor change as his design is less "off-model" than in previous cartoons (his bucked teeth are gone), which began with Ace in the Hole.[1]
Some available prints overdub Kent Roger's vocals with Grace Stafford.
- This is the first series where Woody laughs at the end of the series.
