Theme Tune

Herbie The Love Bug  – The banned lyrics to Herbie’s theme song, which is almost always instrumental.

You don’t say nothin’, you don’t stand tall.

You don’t plant taters, you don’t play ball.

Don’t surf at Malibu, you don’t free fall.

You don’t get measles, you don’t get wed.

You don’t drink beer, don’t go to bed.

Don’t like potato pie and shortnin’ bread.

Trivia

HERBIE GOES BANANAS

Herbie’s name is mentioned only once in the film. This occurs when Pete first picks up Herbie at the beginning. The owner of the car lot tells Pete a story about Jim Douglas and says, “Herbie, he see it, he stop.” For the rest of the movie, the car is called Ocho.

Herbie is called Ocho because Paco (the boy) says that the numbers 5 & 3 (Herbies racing number) add up to 8.

Trivia

HERBIE FULLY LOADED

Director Angela Robinson said in the commentary that she purposely left hidden crew equipment and cheap camera tricks in the film to give Herbie fans something to look for that was fun, and also just to simply aggravate her editor, who practically begged her to fix the problems before the film was released.

The Volkswagen Beetle, officially the Volkswagen Type 1, or informally the Volkswagen Bug, is an economy car manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.

The need for this kind of car, and its functional objectives, were formulated by Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, wishing for a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for the new road network of his country. He contracted Porsche in 1934 to design and build it to his exacting standards. Ferdinand Porsche and his team took until 1938 to finalise the design.This is one of the first rear-engined cars. With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform, worldwide.

Although designed in the 1930s, the Beetle was only produced in significant numbers from 1945 on (mass production had been put on hold during the Second World War) when the model was internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1, and marketed simply as the ‘Volkswagen’. Later models were designated VW 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 or 1303, the former three indicating engine displacement and the latter two being derived from the type number and not indicative of engine capacity. The model became widely known in its home country as the Käfer (German for ‘beetle’) and was later marketed as such in Germany, and as the Volkswagen Beetle in other countries.

Quote

Jeff Gordon: This car just winked at me.
Jimmie Johnson: A racecar just winked at you.
Jeff Gordon: I swear. The car just winked at me.
Jimmie Johnson: Are you feeling OK? Is it the pressure?

Trivia

HERBIE RIDES AGAIN

The interior of the building that Herbie drives through was the Garden Court of the Sheraton Palace Hotel. The owners allowed Disney to film the scene of Herbie crossing their large regal dining area only after the Herbie used was rigged to run on battery power (no gas exhaust) and the bottom of the car was drip-proofed. It was filmed at a time of day where there is low traffic at the dining area. The diners in the foreground (in front of Herbie rolling through) were actually blue screened in later.
