* BurgerFool: The protagonist of the "Pinch Me" music video acts like he's one of these, although in a twist, the customers are genuinely appreciative of his services, and his coworkers seem friendly enough. Rather than grouse about the job, the song's lyrics deal with how isolated and depressed he feels, and the video concludes with him joining in with those around him in dance to the tune of the hopeful, encouraging chorus.

**The Liner Notes for their Greatest Hits album described "Pinch Me" as "Another one of our happy little songs about chronic depression," which isn't immediately apparent with the fast patter and humorous wordplay until you notice the apathetic first line of the chorus along with the subvocals pleading for help:
-->Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone\\
''(Pinch me)'' Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn\\
''(I'm still asleep)'' When you try to see the world, beyond your front door\\
''(Please God)'' Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile\\
''(Tell me)'' When you realize that a guy my size might take a while\\
''(I'm still asleep)'' Just to try to figure out what all this is for

* AlternateAlbumCover: The original cover of ''Gordon'' featured a photo of the band making goofy faces, which they hated because they thought it made it look like an album of children's music. After the album's initial success they talked their label into replacing it with a pic of the red-white-and-blue ball that was their recurring motif at the time (including part of that original cover photo).
