The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards featured a musical number opening with Brian and Stewie singing this song. It uses the very same tune as The Freakin' FCC, which, in turn, uses the same tune as "Volunteer Firemen Picnic," which comes from a Broadway musical called Take Me Along with Jackie Gleason.
