Trivia[]
- The special is the first place where songs from "Baby Sex" were heard.
- Syd Powell is actually played by Homer Flynn, and Jay Clem plays himself.
- KBOO is owned by The Residents' close friend, Bill Reinheart, who aired residents demos earlier. So, he kindly allowed The Residents to play this on air.
-Since the special, "Kamakazi Lady", "Whoopy Snorp", and "Walter Westinghouse" have all been released on "Residue of The Residents".
