A portion of a Game Informer interview with Creative Producer Jacques Exertier...

GI: What happened to Rayman?

JE: Rayman is still alive and well. I'm sure he'll be pleased to hear you asked about him. He and the raving Rabbids are best enemies. Sometimes we manage to get them together for a few 'Bwaaaahs!' and flying fists, and the rest of the time they each carry on with their everyday lives, just as the raving Rabbids do in Rabbids Go Home.

GI: The soundtrack in the game was a lot of fun and featured a lot of older hits including "Louie Louie" and "Kingston Town." Why this choice of music for the game?

JE: We wanted the human/Rabbid contrast to be present in the music, too. For the Rabbid music, we chose a Moldavian brass band whose energy and immediacy were perfect. In fact, you could use the same adjective to describe the Rabbids and the music that goes with them. For the humans we chose oldies, but goldies from the 60s and 70s for their formatted, clean-cut, perky, bubblegum aspect, and also because they date from a time when the consumer society was being pushed as the only possible route to happiness.
