Trivia

* The title of the second song on the EP, "Don't Be a Menace to King Kong While Drinking Banana Juice in The Congo", is an obvious homage to the 1996 Wayans Brothers film "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood".
* The song "Captain Stabbin'" is named after the hardcore pornography website "captainstabbin.com". [ [http://www.captainstabbin.com Captain Stabbin'.com] ]
