Although Scooter mentions in the episode's Cold Open that the Monsters in Alice's dressing room "aren't ours," some members of the Vile Bunch had, in fact, previously appeared on The Muppet Show. These include Gorgon Heap, Chopped Liver, and Flower-Eating Monster. And all but the snake, drummer, and guitarist would make future appearances on the show. The name of the group is taken from a photograph in a Muppet Show Annual in which two members of the band (Silver Beak and the drummer) appeared alongside Blue Frackle below the moniker.
