They also did a music video, which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT_QRKfv8H4 must be seen to be believed]]. It's really HilariousInHindsight considering the saga of Chet Haze, Hanks' white rapper son.
* Creator/JohnCarradine, who played a brief role in ''Film/RedZoneCuba'', also sang the theme tune. His singing voice makes it absolutely clear that he should have perhaps cut back on the smoking.
