- "Heathen Town" includes bits of "Fire" (Bruce Springsteen) and "Fight For Your Right (To Party!)" (Beastie Boys & Rick Rubin).
- "I Want You" includes a line from "I Say A Little Prayer" (Burt Bacharach & Hal David).
- "Pump It Up" includes bits of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (Bob Dylan), "Sign 'O' The Times" (Prince), "Too Much Monkey Business" (Chuck Berry), and "Revolution" (John Lennon & Paul McCartney).
