* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: While marijuana is involved in the song, the music video is about Petty as a morgue assistant who takes home the corpse of a woman (played by Creator/KimBasinger) for a dinner date. Necrophiliac sex with her is the "last dance". Heartbreaker guitarist Mike Campbell said, "My take on it is it can be whatever you want it to be. A lot of people think it's a drug reference, and if that's what you want to think, it very well could be, but it could also just be a goodbye love song.

* HarsherInHindsight: The lyric in "Mary Jane's Last Dance", "One more time to kill the pain", considering Tom Petty died of an overdose of fentanyl, and earlier than that when the bassist on the song, Howie Epstein, died from years of heroin abuse.
* MisattributedSong: Music/TomPetty doesn't have a song called "Low" (or [[RefrainFromAssuming "Like Being Stoned"]] for that matter), that was Cracker. The confusion presumably stems from the song having sort of a similar rhythm to "Mary Jane's Last Dance". The confusion has apparently become [[http://300songs.com/2010/08/10/24-low-cracker-musings-on-why-hits-are-written-fast-big-dipper-was-slow-kol-and-our-special-ops-pigeons/ a big pet peeve]] of Cracker vocalist David Lowery.
* NightmareFuel: Tom Petty as a morgue worker who steals the corpse of a beautiful woman (played by Creator/KimBasinger) and takes it home with him, which he dresses up, eats with, and does other things to, before finally dumping her in the ocean. The worst part? At the end, she opens her eyes.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Many fans of Music/RedHotChiliPeppers have noted the striking similarity between "Dani California" and Music/TomPetty's song "Mary Jane's Last Dance." Petty noted this when asked on the matter but chose not to take legal action, stating that there are enough {{Frivolous Lawsuit}}s in America and that "pretty much all songs sound similar."
