"A few weeks after Rack, Shack and Benny was released, parents began sending in letters to Big Idea, complaining that their kids were singing "I don't love my mom or my dad, just the bunny", and "I won't go to church, and I won't go to school". Vischer and Big Idea were disappointed that none of the children watching it, were understanding the concept of the song, that you are not supposed to sing it, but originally refused to change the lyrics. Instead Vischer tried to redeem the company's image by coming up with the New and Improved Bunny Song in Very Silly Songs!, so that kids would understand to not sing the original version. However, the kids still failed to do so, and, as a result, when Big Idea partnered with Lyrick Studios in 1998, they rewrote the episode to include the new version of the Bunny Song with the modern lyrics. Vischer only ended up getting more letters from fans, now complaining that they liked the original version best. "
