Work work worry worry" is a direct reference to the ''Creator/MontyPython'' song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvpsoEOJ0_EThe Silly Walk]]", and was reincorporated as a background element of The Fine Print as it fit the corporate work theme.

* CreatorBreakdown: A 'mild' example, but the [[MoodWhiplash especially sombre and bleak]] "Open The Sky" was created out of Supes' own sadness and longing after they were unable to attend a U.S. {{Nerdcore}} convention that had already been (repeatedly) delayed due to the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic, as they had contracted the virus.

* ProductionLeadTime: A variant in that because of the ambitious production, the Stupendium has to work on these well in advance to the game's release date and have to spend a lot of resources on them, which means that they have to stick with songs even if the games they're based off of receive a negative reception or at least are mired in controversy, which was admitted to be the case for:
** "Vault Number 76" (''VideoGame/Fallout76'')
** "The Data Stream" (''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'')
** "The Toybox" (''VideoGame/PoppyPlaytime'')

* OutdatedByCanon: As Stupendium themself admits, "Don't Let the Bellhops Bite" was written when only the first couple chapters of VideoGame/DarkDeception were released. As such, the beginning of the song alludes to [[Literature/TheDivineComedy "the fourth and fifth circle of Hell"]] despite it later being revealed that the Dark Dimension is not the Christian Hell.
