** Those words, meaning "Worshipped and Spat Upon", were originally coined in French by Francois Villon in his "Ballad of the outlaws", which In Extremo covered in a German translation called ''Vor vollen Schüsseln''. They also used those words in the introductions of their songs at concerts, and later named their second rock album after them. The words reappeared in the title track of their album ''Sterneneisen''.

* ShoutOut: An unintentional one to WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn. At one of their first concerts, Micha wore a T-shirt reading "Das Letzte Einhorn", the German title of the film.

** Also, another early Mittelalter Rock band, Tanzwut, released a song called ''Exkremento'', accusing In Extremo of being a ShoddyKnockoffProduct of Tanzwut. It's all just a joke among musicians, as Micha and Tanzwut's singer Teufel were once in a band together and are still good friends.
