Background Information

 * "Gitchee Gitchee Goo", "Today is Gonna Be a Great Day", and "Perry the Platypus" were the first songs written for the show.
 * When Disney executives heard this song, they asked Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh to write a song for every episode.
 * This is the first song that Phineas and Candace sing.
 * 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".
 * Ferb sings his line in a deep bass voice, and pronounces the words as "Babe-ah babe-ah babe-ah babe-ah".
 * This song often appears as elevator music, because, during the episode "Flop Starz", one of Phineas' steps for becoming a one hit wonder was "(song played as) elevator music".
 * In "Tri-Stone Area", there is a parody of this song, called "Zubada".
 * In addition, this song is in the key of C, while the parody is sung in A.
 * In the soundtrack and "Musical Cliptastic Countdown" version, one of the extended lines are "She says I Gitchee Gitchee Goo you too". This line means, "She says I love you you too", because the song implies that Gitchee Gitchee Goo means "I love you".
 * In the extended version, Candace's voice can't be heard very clearly, as more female vocals were added. Her voice was made louder for the show version. Also, the rhythm beats from the beginning of the song were replaced with electric guitar strums for the extended version.
 * The characters are under the colored spotlights for most of the extended video.
 * The Ferbettes' voices were dubbed by Laura Dickinson.
 * The song features chorus by Robbie Wyckoff and Drew Seeley.
 * This song is played in Disney's Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever! as the song during the pre-second act with the lyrics other than the chorus muted out, and can be heard during "Phineas and Ferb's Rockin' Rollin' Dance Party" show at Disney California Adventure.

Errors

 * On some parts of the scenes in the Extended Version, Isabella was wearing an orange ribbon but on the other scenes, she is wearing her orange beret and orange ribbon.
 * In the extended version, Phineas constantly switches from his original voice to his current voice and back.
 * When Phineas sings the line "And she knows it's my world she's a-rockin'", Ferb is colored normally, not under the same light as Phineas.
 * In the extended video, the logo on the curtain constantly changes between "PFT" to "Phineas and the Ferb-Tones" to nothing, this is due to some of the scenes from the Flop Starz version were recycled for the video.
 * The parts of the reunion concert from the same episode have the "PFT Reunion Concert" logo edited out for the extended video, but it can still be seen in a few scenes. Also, if you look closley during the last "Mow mow mow" the R in "Reunion" can be visable.
 * In the extended version, Ferb's drumset addition is replaced with a single snare drum, but the drumset can still be seen in a few scenes. This is due to some footage being recycled.
 * Isabella's clothes change throughout the song. In the new scenes, she is wearing her full Fireside Girl uniform (with her beret), but due to recycled footage, she switches to her Fireside Girl uniform with a red bow instead of the beret, and near the end, she switches to her normal clothing (colored to look like her Fireside Girl uniform under the lights).
 * The order of the Ferbettes constantly switches back and forth throughout the extended video.
 * Although Isabella's bow is red, it's colored as if it were pink under the lights (identified by the fact it's lighter than the shirt portions). This goes the same for the edge patterns on Milly's shirt.
 * In the line "When I say I love you", Adyson has only one eyelash instead of two and part of her beret is the same color as her hair.

Continuity

 * The song is heard very often in the show, making it a running gag. The episodes where it has been heard (other than "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", in which it was used to undo the effects of Doofenshmirtz's hypnotic song) are:
 * I, Brobot: Heinz 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.
 * I Scream, You Scream: When Perry the Platypus is sitting in Dr. Doofenshmirtz's waiting room, the elevator music plays.
 * 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 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.
 * Isabella and the Temple of Sap: In Professor Poofenplotz's flashback, one of the songs played in the background is Gitchee Gitchee Goo as elevator music.
 * Candace's Big Day: When Dr. Doofenshmirtz is in the elevator, Gitchee Gitchee Goo can be heard as elevator music.
 * I Was a Middle Aged Robot: Just before Carl discovers Lawrence in Perry's lair, he is sweeping the floor and humming this song.
 * Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!: It is heard when Phineas is at the Slushy-Dawg.
 * A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas: When Dr. Doofenshmirtz was shopping in the mall with gift, Gitchee Gitchee Goo can be heard as elevator music in the background.
 * Cranius Maximus: Doofenshmirtz sings this song as he puts on one of his labcoats.
