* EpicRocking: The 10:20 "Maggot Brain" and 9:42 "Wars of Armageddon". Legend has it that Eddie Hazel was asked to play his guitar during "Maggot Brain" as if someone told him his mother had died and later found out that she was okay.

* SpokenWordInMusic: Music/GeorgeClinton's introduction to "Maggot Brain".
* StockSoundEffects: During "Wars of Armageddon" we hear a baby crying, an alarm going off, a cuckoo clock, a streetcar bell, a cow mooing, jungle monkey sounds, screeching cats and an explosion going off.
