Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Seaweed sings "Run and Tell That", he is singing to Penny, "And then there's those who try to, hell God knows." When the camera is facing her, Penny is shown looking very stiff, as if she wasn't dancing (or couldn't get into the groove). When the camera is over her shoulder, showing Seaweed, she is dancing. The next shot his Penny again, but she is no longer dancing.
