Trivia
- Chris Kirkpatrick guest stars as Chip Skylark, his first of many appearances.
- Cosmo's old band is called The Fairies. It consists of himself on the electric triangle, Pan on the pan flute, Santa Claus on drums, and Ludwig van Beethoven on the organs.
- If it's Timmy's birthday in this episode then he is eleven years old, but in MicroPhony Mrs. Turner said he is 10.
- This episode is one of Butch Hartman's top picked episodes in the Timmy's Top Wishes DVD.
- Chip is apparently not rich despite what many of his fans assume. The record company, in reality, pays for all the expensive stuff he has. Chip claims that if his fans find out he is not rich they would not like him anymore.
- This episode reveals that Chip's birthday is a day before Timmy's.
- This episode was planned to air in 2001 on Nickelodeon, but it was postponed on March 1, 2002 in the U.S., it was aired in Australia on August 3, 2001 because the Americans had postponed the 2nd season of "The Fairly OddParents" because of the September 11 attacks of the World Trade Center.
- This episode is the first to premiere in 2002.
- During the theme song when Cosmo and Wanda turn Vicky's head into a guitar they do not look at the viewer after her head got transformed.
- The Icky Vicky song from this episode was included as a bonus clip in Breakin' Da Rules.
- Morals:
- Don't judge a book by its cover — it's best to get to know someone a little better as they're not what you assumed them to be at first.
- Plenty of celebrities are perfectly nice, down-to-earth people in real-life.
- Not all celebrities like being famous (even if they genuinely love what they do).
- Butch Hartman did a reaction & breakdown video on his YouTube channel on January 17, 2025.[1]
Production Notes
- Although this episode along with "Hex Games" were premiered on March 1, 2002, in the USA, they were produced in 2001 according to the credits.
- Recording sessions for the episode began on July 14, 2001.[2]
Allusions
- The Boys in the Band - The episode' title, "Boys in the Band", is an obvious reference to the play.
- Misery - Vicky having Chip chained up on Timmy's bed is a reference to how Annie has Paul strapped down to the bed to prevent him from escaping.
- Butch even said that's where he & his crew got the idea from.[1]
- Footloose - The music that plays during the title card is an instrumental sample of the song Footloose by Kenny Loggins from the movie.
Goofs
- When Cosmo stalls the fans at Chip's concert, everyone sees him as a fairy, and this clearly breaks Da Rules: no one must reveal fairies' existence. On top of that, he also used magic right in front of the crowd to poof up the band mates.
- However, it is possible that Cosmo didn't technically break the rule as he did not directly say that he was a fairy (not including when he said the name of his band) despite appearing as one. It may have been because of his appearance people may have thought he was a musician in a costume with his other band members also in costumes.
- When Timmy splashes out of the cake it makes no sound.
- When Timmy wakes up, it's morning. When he goes downstairs, he expects dinner. In reality, he should be expecting breakfast.
- Chip Skylark has a different appearance on his posters and CDs than he does when he appears in person. It could be possible that an earlier character design was used for his merchandise.
- At the end during the concert, Mrs. Turner tells Timmy, "We would never forget your birthday, Tommy!" (as a joke that she won't forget her son's birthday, but will forget his name), but mere seconds afterward she says, "Happy almost-birthday, Timmy!" with Mr. Turner, as if she had never forgotten it at all.
- After Timmy says "Oh" in response to Vicky calling Chip her love, his buck teeth disappear.
