Trivia

* Within the song, Yankovic claims there are "at least 127 more" Pokémon to sing about. This is because Yankovic's use of the number 27 in his songs (see [http://weirdal.0catch.com/txt/27.list.html The 27 List] ). However, counting only the first generation Pokémon there are only 101 Pokémon not in the song, but counting second generation Pokémon there are 195 different Pokémon remaining.

* The soundtrack and by extension the song was released by Atlantic Records. Yankovic would later come into conflict with this company over his single You're Pitiful.
