* Phill's team, containing then-former Take That singer Gary Barlow and [[OopNorth Tony Wright]] of Terrorvision's interpretation of Dutch heavy metal band Vortex's song "Open The Gate" in Indecipherable Lyrics is to be heard to be believed. Special mention goes to Wright's main contribution, 'bright arse is a plan of beautiful bits'[[note]]The actual line is "We've got a task, a plan, a duty to fulfil"[[/note]], followed by Lamarr interjecting with "It's better than 'Bright arse, burning like fire', innit?"
