The song features a riff which sounds very similar to that of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train", which is apparently simply because the song's guitarist, Randy Rhoads, was an influence on Buckethead's playing.

"Park Theme", on Buckethead's 1992 debut "Bucketheadland" is very similar to "Welcome to Bucketheadland", featuring a different voiceover and a more 'electronic' feel, including a dance music-type beat. The solo is also different on this song; more complex and longer. "Park Theme Extension", on the "Dance Remixes" second disc of "Bucketheadland" is also very similar to the two songs, but is longer and more electronica orientated.
