Other information
- The title of the album comes from a 1921 cartoon drawing by George Grosz.[7]
- The album artwork is taken from a painting called The Long Arm of the Law by Detroit artist Ron Zakrin,[8] who was also behind the artwork for the band's follow-up album Flashy.
- The song "Kukuxumushu" (or Kukuxumusu) is Basque for "Flea's Kiss". Kukuxumusu is also a Spanish clothing brand. Tyler Spencer wrote the song after seeing a Kukuxumusu clothing shop whilst on tour, and deciding that he liked the word and wanted to use it.
- The song "Down at McDonnelzzz" was originally written as an interlude for inclusion on Switzerland, continuing the tradition of interludes on Señor Smoke. It was shelved specifically to allow it to be expanded into a full song on this album. The original "demo" version of the song was subsequently released on Sexy Trash.[9]
