Trivia/Errors[]
- This is the first sing-along video.
- The name of this video is basically the same as Richard Scarry's Best Learning Video Ever, but just with "Songs" added in the title.
- Dennis Elephant from The Busy World of Richard Scarry makes an appearance in the song "On a Summer Day."
- However, in the song "On a Summer Day", Max, Jack, Patty, and Harry Cat have eyebrows.
- There are two errors in Singing, Dancing, Laughing and Growing:
- Alex and Anne Bear are absent.
- Ursula Pig isn't wearing a bow.
- Fireman Ralph and the pig and mouse firefighters are absent, like Richard Scarry's Best Counting Video Ever and Richard Scarry's Best Sing-Along Mother Goose Video Ever.
- Joanna Leeds is not credited for voicing Ursula Pig in this video.
- Some other Busytown people still don't make these appearances, such as Able Baker Charlie, Mr. Humperdink, Bruno Bear, Larry Lion, Olive Owl, Patty Elephant, Ned Alligator, Mom Crocodile, Mr. Hippo, Lucy Fox, Ollie Owl, Gary Goat, Grandma Cat, Nancy Rabbit, Ursula Dog, Glenda Goat, Janitor Joe, Nurse Nelly, Ralph Pig, Susie Tiger, Arthur Pig, Edna Bunny and other characters from the first three videos.
- This is the first video Huckle says "My name is Huckle."
- This is the first episode that this video has been produced by Jumbo Pictures.
- This is the second video the narrator narrates the introduction. The first time was in Richard Scarry's Best Counting Video Ever.
- During "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" the various characters in the white background are doing the actions while a bunch of voices (probably the audience) sing it off-screen in unison. It may seem like the characters are singing it as they do the actions.
- When Bananas Gorilla changes his mind, he says, "Not banana!" instead of "Banana!".
- In this special, Bananas Gorilla says "Banana!" when he steals and when he changes his mind, he says "Not banana!" and runs off.
- After the counting song then someone had little trouble Huckle says we have an a little trouble please wait we be along with the show for a few minutes.
