==Trivia==
* This episode is semi-controversial among some Daria fans as it is a musical and not a typical episode. When word got out the third season premiere was to be a musical episode, some fans had an extremely negative reaction before they had even had a chance to see the episode, possibly because up until "Daria!" premiered the show was generally viewed as something firmly grounded in reality and not prone to frivolity or flights of fancy.
* In [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=39365 an April 2013 thread] discussing the episode, [[Brother Grimace]] put forth a opinion that the episode should be considered as canon. He lists several reasons (including that the episode could be done just as easily without the musical elements, that the musical elements allow viewers insight into the characters' interior motivations not usually visible, and that other television programs have used musical episode in the exact same manner which are considered canon).
A "Broadway" version of the theme song opened the episode during its TV broadcasts. [[Daria: The Complete Animated Series|The DVD boxset]] only used the opening titles for the first episode of every DVD, and so "Daria!" lacks this altered opening in the collection. ▼

To fit into hurricane season ''and'' when class is in session, this has to take place between early September to end of November. Surprisingly for ''Daria'' chronology, this fits really well: either you count this episode as the first of S3 (initial broadcast) and this is the start of Daria's third year in high school, or it comes after the October-set "[[Depth Takes a Holiday]]" and is in November.▼

For the record, Jake's song in the car goes "'''gah-gah''' dammit", not "god-god". It's obvious they mean "god", but it wouldn't bode well for network censors.▼

This episode features [[Trike Girl]]'s most prominent role. She is seen riding her tricycle at both the beginning and end of the episode, leading some to ponder if she had been riding the entire time through the hurricane.▼

There's a notable severe weather safety error on part of the Morgendorffers. Helen tells Trent to come over to their house, arguing for his safety. They all then proceed to weather to storm in the kitchen nook, right next to two large plate glass windows - the worst place to be during a hurricane, as any flying debris outside could shatter the widows, cutting everyone.▼

Roof doors, like the one that locks Daria, Jane, Kevin and Brittany on the roof, in reality are designed to lock on the ''inside'' to prevent people from getting out on the roof in the first place, but ''not on the outside'' so that no one becomes trapped on the roof, as happened in this episode. However the door to the roof may have simply been in violation of building codes due to Ms. Li's paranoia.▼

The voice singing "Manly" over the end credits sounds like the [[Stan|bragging guy]] Mystik Spiral met while in jail during [[Speedtrapped]].▼

In "Morning in the Burbs II", Jake sings a line ending in "Lexus", and Daria's following line ends with the rhyme "Solar Plexus". while not remarkable by itself, in the final season episode [[The Story of D]] Jake and Daria sing another Lexus-rhymed snippet of song:▼
