Notes/trivia
- Jerry Reed lived in Nashville, and passed away there on September 1, 2008.
- The episode is set on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3.
- The song used in this episode, "Pretty Mary Sunlight", was previously used in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode Don't Fool with a Phantom; in that episode, it was performed by George A. Robertson, Jr.
Cultural references
- Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, and he lived and died in Nashville, Tennessee.
- The Country Music Hall is most likely an homage to the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum both located in Nashville, Tennessee.
- At the end of the episode, Shaggy and Scooby referenced Reed's hit song, "When You're Hot, You're Hot", which was released in March of 1971.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- When the possessed mannequins start chasing Shaggy and Scooby, they come out of a doorway twice on the dollies, when the first time should've been Shaggy and Scooby on the xylophone.
- When Jerry Reed and the Gang are standing on the stage, Jerry Reed's sleeve is coloured brown for one shot.
- Towards the end of the episode, as Shaggy and Scooby notice that the statue of the Viking is missing, Scooby's arm is gone for a few frames before he points to the empty space where the statue should be.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- None known.
