== Trivia ==
==Trivia==
* This song was used as Team Rocket's theme in the [[Nintendo 64]] game [[Pokémon Puzzle League]].
* The video for the song originally premiered after an August 1999 rerun of ''Electric Shock Showdown'', replacing the [[Pokérap]]. Instead of the Pikachu's Jukebox intro, it was introduced as a "Pokémon Music Video" using footage of the [[Kids' WB!]] backlot.
* This song was used as a background music for ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''.
* This song was used as {{TRT}}'s theme in the [[Nintendo 64]] game [[Pokémon Puzzle League]].
* This song's title is commonly mistaken to be called "Team Rocket's Rockin'" or "Team Rocket's Rocket".
* This song was used as background music for ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''.
* Giovanni tells Team Rocket at the beginning of the CD version that he wants Pikachu, although in anime canon he may not even know about Pikachu. Jessie and James decide themselves in [[EP002]] that Pikachu is powerful and that they want to capture it.
* {{an|Giovanni}} tells Team Rocket at the beginning of the CD version that he wants {{AP|Pikachu}}, but at this point in the {{pkmn|anime}}, he does not know about Pikachu. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} decide themselves in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' that Pikachu is powerful and that they want to capture it. It is not until ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' that they actually talk to Giovanni about capturing Pikachu.
* Sheet music for this song is included in {{book|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master|the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book}}.
* When this song was released in Japan as part of the ''[[Pokémon de English#Pokémon de English! Kazu - Iro Hen|Pokémon de English! Kazu - Iro Hen]]'' VHS/DVD, it was presented not as a Pikachu's Jukebox video, but as a [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] video, complete with onscreen lyrics. However, the lyrics use a different font than the rest of the Karaokémon videos.
