** "Head Over Heels" (from ''Balls to the Wall'') is written from the point of view of someone out walking "late at night in the park" who happens to notice other people there engaging in some sort of sexual activity, and then can't resist the urge to covertly watch them:[[note]]Some sources show the "''can feel''" lyric here as "'''''can't''' feel''" instead, and it's not clear from context which version is the correct one.[[/note]]

** The lyrics of "Lady Lou" (from the self-titled debut album) include this part:[[note]]Some sources show this lyric as "[…] ''my car '''I''' drive''"; however, in UsefulNotes/BritishEnglish, "drive" (used as a noun) is synonymous with "driveway" in UsefulNotes/AmericanEnglish, which would make sense in this context.

* MarketBasedTitle: The [=1990s=]-era live album ''All Areas – Worldwide'' went by the alternate title ''The Final Chapter'' in the U.S. and Japan, apparently because the band was on hiatus at the time it was released in those territories (which was in 1998) and no reunion was anticipated at that point. However, that alternate title is somewhat misleading, because it was recorded during the tours in support of the ''Objection Overruled'' and ''Death Row'' studio albums (which were released in 1993 and 1994, respectively), thus putting it prior to the recording of the ''Predator'' studio album (from 1996); this explains why it does not feature live versions of any of the songs from ''Predator''.
