Song title information

[edit]
  • According to early album art, "Rusted Over Wet Dreams" was originally titled "Scorpios With Black Names Are Bad News".[5]
  • Track 6, titled "Travis Bickle" is a reference to the Martin Scorsese film Taxi Driver.
  • Tracks 3 and 8 are derived from the comedy program Chappelle's Show, the former being a reference to the title of a recurring sketch, and the latter a recurring quote by a character in a sketch respectively.
  • The title of Track 5, "You Got a Henna Tattoo that Said Forever" is a reference to a quote from Zach Galifianakis' 2001 episode of Comedy Central Presents.[6]
