Deborah Gray and Luan Peters, who appear in the film, weren't slated to write the theme song for the film.

According to Gray in the DVD 'making of', she approached director John Lamond, saying she wanted to write a song with the other girl (the one who "had the big boobs") and asked if it could be recorded.Lamond said he thought "God, what if it's awful", but then he heard the women singing it. They said they'd written a little ditty for it, he said that it sounded really cute, and if they'd put it down on tape, he'd have a listen to it, and maybe he could find a spot in the film somewhere, in the background, perhaps as source music (of the kind coming off a radio).When he did hear the fleshed out version, he thought it was fantastic and devised a little animation for "The End", with the words flopping around like a penis.

And so the legend of the title theme for Pacific Banana was born, with different lyrics for the opening and closing titles.

As a bonus, the DVD offers another song by the pair, Trouble, though some mightbe shattered that the printed lyrics are soft and difficult to read:
