Alternate versions:
- The original version was "9 Coronas". In 1996, this was remade as "10 Coronas". The remake includes many celebrity names (including all the female stars of "Friends"), but still uses the phrase "9 Coronas" in the chorus until the end.
- In 1999, the ending of the original recording was edited onto the end of the remake to eliminate the "10 Coronas" portion, and the song was again labeled "9 Coronas". To distinguish from the original recording, Dr. Demento calls that "9 Coronas ('99)", and that is what is used here, even though the CD simply calls it "9 Coronas".
interesting facts (click to see playlist of show on which fact was mentioned, if applicable):
- The Bunch Of Stuff Volume #1 cassette does not have a track listing, so the title "10 Coronas" is not actually confirmed from a release, but simply from Dr. Demento playlists as sent to radio stations.
- The backing track used on all versions is an edited and processed version of the original record by The Knack.
