Trivia
The dancer in the "Bongo Baby" and "Voodoo" segments, which appears only in the original version of the movie, is credited as Faye Craig. Boscoe Holder also appears as an uncredited dancer in "Voodoo."

Alternate versions
The original version of this movie is "Just for You" (1964; U.K., directed by Douglas Hickox). In the original UK version, Sam Costa lies in bed, and entertains us by running video clips of various pop acts on a projector in his private screening room while smoking a cigar. In 1966, U.S. director Vince Scarza created "Disk-O-Tek Holiday" out of "Just for You" by replacing British musical acts Al Saxon, Doug Sheldon, Mark Wynter, Faye Craig and the Warriors with U.S. musical acts the Vagrants, the Chiffons, Freddy Cannon and the Rockin' Ramrods. The other musical acts remain the same in both movies, except Sam Costa's scenes are replaced by U.S. singer Casey Paxon's efforts to have his new record played by DJs Bob Foster, Hy Lit and Arnie Ginsburg.

"It's amazing the things you can you do in bed...!"

More a stream of consciousness (recalling Gordon Harker fiddling with a TV set three decades earlier in 'Elstree Calling') than a movie. Shot on a tiny soundstage at Shepperton with almost Caligariesque styalised sets in pastel sixties Eastman Colour.

Few of the guest artists (all obviously miming) are on for more than about two or three minutes; culminating in Freddie and the Dreamers performing the title song.

Although it carried a 'U' certificate in 1964, Talking Pictures preceded it with a disclaimer that some of it might be unsuitable for children; and it starts as it will continue with uncle Sam Costa propped up on a pillow ogling Faye Craig jiggling her hips on a huge colour TV screen far in advance of anything then available to the British public (while Millie's number begins and ends with a close up of her Cathy Gale boots).
