Trivia
- This video marks:
- The only appearances of Goldilocks and the Three Bears Puppets.
- The first appearance of Zippity the Hamster.
- The first time "I Love You" is sung at the end.
- The first time the Barney doll does not wink at the end.
- The final Barney video to feature the Kids Edutainment Video logo.
- The final time David Voss performs Barney before he left the series to go into the army.
- For some reason, the spine on the original cover says "Barney Videos" rather than having the Backyard Gang logo.
- A Spanish dub of this video was made presumably around the same time as an alternate to the original. Due to it being produced around the same time as the English version, the dub was made by a different team compared to Barney y Sus Amigos, and the songs (except for "The Alphabet Chant") remain in English.
- Five winners were selected from The Barney National Talent Search and they performed "What I Want to Be" in this video.
- After the music ends in the end credits a little bit of the "Shimbaree, Shimbarah" sound effect is heard.
- This video takes place in October on a Saturday.
- Production for this video took place in June 1990.
