The track "Hey There Ophelia" is based on "Screamager" by Northern Irish band Therapy? . "Screamager" appears on the Shortsharpshock E.P. , and the album, Troublegum .[ 2]
The track "White Kids Aren't Hyphy" is loosely based on the song "I Wish" by Skee-Lo .[ 3]
The title of the album is a tribute to Wesley Willis , who appeared at the end of the MC Lars song "Yes, I Am an Alien" and the beginning of the song "True Player for Real".
