MCA Records wanted $300,000 for the license to use The Who's song "Who Are You". C.K. made a personal plea to the song's writer Pete Townshend. Townshend asked to be sent a few episodes of the series. A few months later, Townshend offered to license the song for $15,000.
The two Sikh boys at the gas station were not actors. They were the sons of the gas station's owner. During shooting, C.K. saw the boys staring at him and asked their father if he could put them on-camera. The boys were aspiring filmmakers and were thrilled to be in the show.
The scene in which Louie sings The Who's "Who Are You" was based on a real-life experience of Louis C.K.. He was once in his parked car with his daughters, the song was on the radio and he performed the entire song as they stared at him. As soon as he finished, he asked his producer to work on getting the license for the song.
This episode features the longest stand-up segment in the series. The entire third act is stand-up.
