Trivia
Trivia
B, F, G, I, J, N, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z are absent in this episode.
O is the only vowel who made a cameo in this episode.
C, D, M, R, S, T, and digraphs SH and TH only say their sound in this episode.
This is the only Long Vowel Song to have digraph TH.
H doesn't speak in this episode. She isn't heard panting.
Two digraphs which spell the long "e" sound are EY (as in Key), and IE (as in Goalie). Both digraphs could have appeared in this episode; but the long-vowel songs written for Alphablocks can teach only three spellings per sound (each verse demonstrates a different spelling, with three rhyming examples in the lyrics).
Additionally, Y alone can also make a long E sound. (The word "party" in Surprise); but this occurs only in unstressed syllables (all the long-vowel songs use one-syllable words as examples).
No words are made with K.
This is the only Long Vowel Song to have a word with 6 phonemes (compete).
This is also the only Long Vowel episode with a title that doesn't end in a silent e.
This episode and the Numberblocks episode "Another One" aired on Halloween 2017.
This is the second episode in which P appears as a capital letter beginning a proper name (Bo Peep); she also does this in Outlaw when I temporarily gets renamed "Paul".
