The short has similarities to both "Wackiki Wabbit" (1943) and "Herr Meets Hare" (1945). The soundtrack includes "Trade Winds" and "Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat". There are two musical quotations from "Die Walküre" (1870) by Richard Wagner. The Japanese soldiers are repeatedly presented on screen to the tune of the "Kimigayo" (1870) The ice cream truck scene uses the tune of the opening aria of Papageno, from "The Magic Flute" (1791) by Mozart. When Bugs professes his hatred of the peace and quiet, demanding someone to get him out of this place, the tune is the "Ride of the Valkyries".
