The song "Detroit" contains the lyric "F.O.B. Detroit" (freight on board). According to the Shermans, Walt Disney was walking down the hall of the studio animation building and overheard them singing the song. Walt, misinterpreting the phrase as "S.O.B.", immediately went into their office and scolded them for using such offensive language in a Disney movie. The Shermans explained Walt's misinterpretation and they all had a good laugh about it.

    Sing thy songs of happy chear”;

    While he wept with joy to hear.”
