(Learned these from an Entertainment Weekly article, incidentally) The Harryhausen cafe was a tribute, as Ray Harryhausen died a few years ago, I think.

I don't remember all the words, but the general gist is this: "Tough kids, sissy kids, kids who climb on rocks, ??? kids, ??? kids, even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs, Armour hot dogs, the dogs kids love to bite!" Sandra and Benjamin sing it at the top of their lungs to Sylvester. Anywho, rent the movie and you will see it (and hear it), I promise you!!! Thanks for the Harryhausen info, by the way!
