* ThrowItIn: ''A Woofer In Tweeter's Clothing'' was supposed to be a basic FaceOnTheCover shot of the then-current lineup of the band posing together against a wall. Ron Mael was seated behind drummer Harley Feinstein for the shoot - As a prank, Harley tipped Ron's chair back as soon as the camera went off, resulting in a photo where Harley and Ron were blurry, Ron had his arms up in fear of falling over, and everyone else was still posed as normal. Ron must have found the end result ActuallyPrettyFunny, because that shot was used as the cover, with an otherwise identical "straight" take with the same poses on the back.

* NewbieBoom: ''Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins'' won the duo a lot of fans in Europe, particularly in Germany, so they recorded ''Plagiarism'' (made up of reworked versions of older songs) to capitalize on their new-found audience. This trope has steadily began to grow in stature worldwide from ''Creator/LilBeethoven'' onward, eventually leading to ''Hippopotamus'' cracking the UK Top 10 (#6) its first week in September 2017, their first placement there since ''Propaganda'' in 1974. The 2021 documentary ''Sparks Brothers'' also brought a lot of renewed attention to the band.
