43	* PunBasedTitle: The album title is a pun on the slogan "one nation under God".
44	* QuestioningTitle: "Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock?"
45	* ShoutOut: On the back cover UsefulNotes/GrigoriRasputin appears, with the caption "Rasputin Raps" and a SpeechBalloon having him say: "Ahhh - dese Funkadelic ist very good for America!"
46	** The liner notes parody the names of other funk artists like "[[Music/DonnaSummer Donna Bummer]]" or "[[Music/EarthWindAndFire Dirt, Poot and Fire]]."
47	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers)" is easily spelt wrong when transcribing it.

49	* ToiletHumour: "Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers)" references to the world as a toll-free toilet. The entire song is nothing but toilet comedy jokes, sang by a choir who describe they live in a world where people literally "talk shit".
