The original TV broadcast included more singing from Garfield during his fantasy vacation scenes. After "Hawaii might be nice," he originally sang a couple of bars of "The Hukilau Song" before saying "Boy, this is the life." Similarly, he originally danced and sang a few bars of "La Cucaracha" before seeing the "beautiful señorita" cat (and ruining her brother's hat). Both of these clips have been abridged on home video releases.
