- Due to not having the rights to the original song that was used in the first game, Scott asked Kellen to record himself singing the diddledums. At the time Goff was asked, he was at a Shakespeare camp and only had his phone, to which Scott said that was fine and that it makes sense since Foxy is run down and dilapidated. Kellen recorded 16-18 variants of the song, and he applied the echoey effects to the recordings.[3]
- According to Kellen, he sent them both the raw and echoey recordings, adding that he is unsure which versions were used, saying the Hollywood mixers were wizards because the diddledums sound the same in the film as they do on his phone.
