Trivia/Info

  • D and W are voiced by John Linnell.
  • D and W also make an appearance in "Can You Find It?".
  • Features Dan Levine on trombone and tuba and Mark Pender on trumpet.
  • Designed & animated by Brian O'Connell (Asterisk), compositing by Alex Reshanov, puppets by Robin Goldwasser (Deeply Felt Puppet Theater). According to Richard O'Connor, this video was finished on August 13, 2004.
  • According to a 2009 blog post by Richard O'Connor, the footage of D and W was filmed at an old studio owned by Cote Zellers in Cold Spring, New York, due to Asterisk's in-house studio being too small to accommodate the video requirements at the time. They were puppeted by several different employees, who each took turns doing so.
  • The child baseball player on the TV at the end is Richard O'Connor at ten years old.
  • Possibly named after the drums of Marty Beller's choice; see the liner notes for albums such as The Spine or Here Come The ABCs. (However, as of 2008, Marty Beller dropped the DW brand and started using ddrum drums.)
