* {{Sermonette}}: Somewhat of a meta example. The track "Hellalujah" has lots of religious themes about [[GreedyTelevangelist televangelism]]. The track even opens with the sound of a TV changing channels. So why is it here? Because it's at the near-end of the album, being track 13 of 16.

Added DiffLines:

* MythologyGag: On "Hellalujah," the evil preacher, simulating speaking in tongues, chants "Lama Namaneumi." This was also the name that they gave Japanese [[GarbageWrestler hardcore wrestler]] Shoji Nakamaki on the ''[=StrangleMania=]'' tape, which was a bootleg of the [[GarbageWrestler [=IWA=] Japan King of the Death Match Tournament]] (featuring [[Wrestling/MickFoley Cactus Jack]] [who would later appear in ''Film/BigMoneyHustlas'' as "Cactus Sac," his name on ''[=StrangleMania=]''] and Wrestling/TerryFunk) that ICP added their own sarcastic commentary onto and released themselves, paving the way for Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling. While ICP are known for their continuity, this one ''might'' just be a coincidence, given the two years in between the [=IWA=] Japan King of the Death Match Tournament and the release of this album.

''The Great Milenko'' is Music/InsaneClownPosse's Fourth Joker's Card, released in 1997. The album was originally released on the [[Creator/{{Disney}} Disney]]-affiliated Creator/HollywoodRecords, until pressure from the Southern Baptist Convention led to the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork album being recalled]] and [=ICP=]'s tour and all other plans being cancelled. Creator/IslandRecords [[NetworkToTheRescue agreed to release]] the album. It was eventually certified platinum.
