** Early lyrics for "Cabinet Man" were about a see-saw.
** The lyrics for "Sweet Bod" initially referenced the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood "Great Boston Molasses Flood,"]] but was rewritten due to Neil being uncomfortable with referencing a real world tragedy that took the lives of several people.
** "As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It" was originally going to feature Neil quoting King Triton from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1992 The Little Mermaid]]'', but these quotes ended up becoming a bass solo.
