In the background, all the kids are chanting "Ti-ki! Ti-ki! Ti-ki!" Would you believe that the Tiki smoking a hookah was deleted from certain versions of the film? I picked up a very inexpensive copy of this DVD somewhere, and they had cleaned up lots of little moments ("blow me" became "balony" for example, it was mostly Jay Adams' lines that were altered) This version was rated PG-13, it did not include commentary by Alva and Peralta and it had a label reading "original theatrical version" It should have had a label printed in large red letters saying "Warning: Butchered Version of Movie!"
