* In Creator/RickyGervais' stand-up tour Fame, he speaks about the version of the song which refers to the Albert Hall. He states that when he went to the Albert Hall he couldn't find it and he had even looked for it which is "suspicious". Gervais continues stating that "if I had that, I'd have it in the foyer. On a plinth. In an eggcup". He ends it by questioning why "His mother has got the other", which would mean Hitler had three.

* Used in ''Film/TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai'', and formed the basis of Malcolm Arnold's score for the film. The lyrics were considered too vulgar and were not used -- but any viewer who lived through WWII, especially in Britain, would know ''exactly'' what was being referenced.
** Arnold's score included [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0fhS12deNE "The River Kwai March"]], which was essentially the Colonel Bogey March with a counter-melody of his own composition played over it. The names of the two songs get mixed up frequently.
