Trivia

• This video marked:

  • The last time David Voss performed Barney before he left the series to go into the army.
  • The last Barney video to feature the Kids Edutainment Video logo.
• This video takes place in October on a Saturday.
• After the music ends in the end credits a little bit of the Shimbaree, Shimbarah sound effect is heard.
• Five winners were selected from The Barney National Talent Search and performed "What I Want to Be" in this video. 
• For some reason the spine on the original cover says "Barney Videos" rather than having the Backyard Gang logo.
