Trivia[]
- Even though this album includes almost all official languages released on The Official Gummibär Channel prior to 2024, some of them do not include the full three minute version of the song. This includes Slovak, Czech, Hebrew, Portuguese, Greek, Dutch, and Russian.
- The Brazilian Portuguese track "Eu Sou O Gummy Bear" is actually the old Brazilian version of the song "Eu Sou O Ursinho Gummy", being given the wrong track title.
- All the languages that released from 2017-2018 are around two and a half minutes opposed to the full three minute version of the song.
- The full 3-minute versions of the Japanese and Greek (although being 2-minutes on the album) tracks originally had backing vocals. In the album, they are not present.
- While this album has all the tracks released on The Official Gummibär Channel during the 10th anniversary of the song, some of the languages are actually missing. This includes the Som Livre re-recording of Brazilian Portuguese version which was once on The Official Gummibär Channel as the 2-minute version (that of course is mistaken for the old Brazilian version with the incorrect title).
- The Norwegian version "Gummi Bjørn" which was only officially heard in a multi-language video on the channel, the full length version is on the YouTube account of the vocalist who goes by the username "m4de4fun."
- The Irish track is a loop of the thirty second short version of the song since no full version was ever recorded. During the later release of the Christmas versions of the song on the channel, a long-ish version of the Irish track was made.
- A lot of the languages that released in 2017-2018 share the same recording of verse 1.
- The Finnish and Swiss versions strangely have the pre-key change refrain replaced with the vocals from the soloist, so they do not count being the full three-minute version.
- During the release of the newer languages, the Arabic track had been heavily requested by fans of Gummibär for a long time.
- The Hindi and Tamil tracks have a different instrumental compared to the original instrumental heard in the other language variations. This was possibly changed to appeal to Indian culture.
- The Danish version of the first portion of verse 1 is missing in the repeated verse.
- The Kölsch and Swiss versions are actually just alternate German versions of the song since they are not actual languages. Kölsch is a dialect in Germany while Swiss is also a dialect and just the type of people from Switzerland. (Opposed to Brazilian just being a dialect for Portuguese)
- The Japanese and Swahili tracks do not include the full percussion in the second/third repeat of the refrain in the translated languages.
- The Hebrew, Swahili, and Irish (Christmas only) tracks do not include their translations of the second portion of verse 1 twice, but after that only seen in the said winter holiday variant of the European language, the key-tone didn't change until the usual long version does, except for some other languages (including the 2009 upload of the Polish version).
- The Korean track noticeably has "K-Pop" in the track title. This is due to music made in South Korea being referred to as K-Pop.
- This is the only Gummibär album to not feature any covers of existing songs.
- The Klingon track is based on the language that originated in the 1966 TV series Star Trek and is spoken by the species of the same name.
- The Czech and Swahili titles for the song in this release have typos that are "Isem" instead of "Jsem", "Meda" instead of "Méd'a", and "Gummy" instead of "Gammy".
