* SignatureSong: "Take the Skinheads Bowling," although [[MagnumOpusDissonance David Lowery prefers "All Her Favorite Fruit" and Cracker's "Eurotrash Girl" over his more successful songs]]. Also, [[ChartDisplacement the highest charting Camper single is actually "Pictures of Matchstick Men"]], but more people seem to remember "Take the Skinheads Bowling" as the "hit" because its popularity on college radio was the thing that initially raised their profile.

* HilariousInHindsight: The liner notes to the ''Vampire Can Mating Oven'' EP offered ludicrous fake trivia, including the claim that one song on the EP originally appeared on the soundtrack of an obscure BMovie about surfing vampires. Years later, Camper would in fact write an original song for a BMovie with an equally silly premise: "Long Way To Go (Sharknado)" for ''Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!''. This was actually part of their motivation for recording the song, as David Lowery would bring up the ''Vampire Can Mating Oven'' liner notes when asked about their involvement with ''Sharknado''.
