Trivia

add »
In the previous episode, J.J.'s dance thing was on a Sunday night. In this episode he said it was on a Saturday night. (edit)
In Episode 5, "The Fighting Irish," Dick Clark is seen in archival footage talking about how Brunswick Records is awarding a gold record for the million-selling song "Lonely Teardrops," and at that moment Jackie Wilson comes out on stage to sing his hit.


Except that "Lonely Teardrops" was released in 1958, which suggests that the song took five years to sell a million copies, if Brunswick Records was awarding the gold record in 1963. Perhaps if the there was a cutaway from the footage, where Dick Clark could redub the words "Baby Workout" for "Lonely Teardrops" (which was a huge hit in 1963), then the actor playing Jackie Wilson could sing "Baby Workout" on stage.
