1* ApprovalOfGod: Creator/AdrienBrody approved of "BRODYQUEST" upon seeing it on ''The Late Show with Stephen Colbert''. In turn, Neil approved of the many remixes of "BRODYQUEST" and even made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqBLxzn6kcU a mashup of his favorites]].
2* ShrugOfGod:
3** In his commentary for "Subtle Oddities" Neil says, "I think this song is about a haunted house. Someone once said that it was about God. Sure, why not? That makes about as much sense."
4** Speaking of commentary, in the commentary for ''Spirit Phone'', Neil says that "You're At The Party" is, "about a sick person who's trying to sleep while a noisy party happens next door, and it gradually overtakes him and invades his nightmares -- or are they nightmares…? I don't know, it's ambiguous."
5* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
6** As revealed by Neil for his commentary track for the album "Spirit Phone":
7*** "Lifetime Achievement Award" was originally named "Experiments in the Revival" after the the Soviet film "Experiments in the Revival of Organisms," but was renamed due to being too grim and obscure a reference.
8*** Early lyrics for "Cabinet Man" were about a see-saw.
9*** 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.
10*** "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.
11** While not explicitly mentioned on the album commentary, a demo called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYKgbk6ObRo "Ivanushka"]] (based on the film ''Film/{{Morozko}}'', as seen in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E13JackFrost Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'') eventually transformed into the final album's "Touch-Tone Telephone."
12** Neil submitted some music as candidates for a theme song to ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. Almost none of them made the final cut, but his sister Emmy still wound up on the staff to the show. One of the theme songs was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbUeDHfsvhM later released it as a bonus track for his album, Spirit Phone.]]
13*** "It's Gonna Get Weird," was meant to be a VillainSong for Bill Cipher, but ended up being cut from the finale of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''.
