Background Information

 * "Gitchee Gitchee Goo" (Flop Starz Version, of course), "Today is Gonna be a Great Day", and "Perry the Platypus" were the first songs written.


 * When Disney executives heard this song, they asked Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh to write a song for every episode.


 * When the song is being written, Phineas says the words slowly and enunciates them as "chicka chicka choo wah". When Phineas sings the song, he changes it to "chicka-chicka, choo wap" to rhyme with "stop".


 * Phineas states that the lyrics to the song are meaningless.


 * Ferb sings his line in a deep bass voice, and pronounces the words as "Babe-ah babe-ah babe-ah babe-ah" (in the English and Spanish versions; other languages may not do this).


 * During the episode "Flop Starz", one of Phineas' steps for becoming a one hit wonder was "(song played as) elevator music", which is one of the most frequent ways it appears in other episodes.


 * In "Phineas and Ferb's Musical Cliptastic Countdown", this song was voted #1.

Songwriters

 * Jon Colton Barry
 * Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
 * Dan Povenmire

Continuity

 * The song is heard very often in the show, making it a running gag. The episodes where it has been heard are:
 * I Scream, You Scream: When Perry is sitting in Doofenshmirtz's waiting room, the elevator music plays.


 * I, Brobot: Dr. Doofenshmirtz can be heard singing along to the song on the radio in his crane. It can also be heard in elevator music form in the same episode when Agent P gets in the Chimney-vator.


 * Toy to the World: Can be heard as elevator music in the hardware store at the Googolplex Mall.


 * Greece Lightning: At the beginning of the movie at the the Abandoned Movie Theater, the elevator music version can be heard.


 * The Flying Fishmonger: When Candace calls Stacy in the mall, the song can be heard as elevator music.


 * Hail Doofania!: Major Monogram sings the ending of the song waiting for Perry the Platypus, and Carl joins him on the final verse.


 * Out of Toon: The aliens from the Captain Implausible show speak some of the nonsense lyrics as if it was their language.


 * The Chronicles of Meap: When Mitch is rambling, Candace controls the baseball on the ground, and whistles the first line of the song.


 * Oh, There You Are, Perry: Marty the Rabbit Boy plays part of the song on his musical blender in an attempt to cheer Candace up.


 * Phineas and Ferb's Musical Cliptastic Countdown: The song, voted #1 on the countdown, is played in extended form to undo the effects of Doofenshmirtz's hypnotic song.


 * Isabella and the Temple of Sap: In Poofenplotz's flashback, one of the songs played in the background is Gitchee Gitchee Goo as elevator music.


 * Candace's Big Day: When Doofenshmirtz is in the elavator, Gitchee Gitchee Goo can be heard as elavator music.
