| 1 | * BetterExportForYou: The initial US and Canadian releases of the album included a bonus one-sided single featuring the live version of "Coming Up" that had been a North American hit. |
| 2 | * CreatorDrivenSuccessor: While no song on this album does a CallBack to Paul's first self-titled record, both of them are mainly recorded by Paul alone in his farm. |
| 3 | * PermanentPlaceholder: "Frozen Jap" was meant to be a WorkingTitle, with [=McCartney=] using it as a starting point to come up with a more ornate name evocative of a wintry scene in East Asia. However, he ended up leaving the name as-is, which drew controversy from Japanese audiences, both due to "Jap" being considered a racial slur outside the UK and due to them reading the title as a reference to his recent arrest in Tokyo for marijuana possession. |

| 5 | ** Compare the opening lines of this album's "Waterfalls" ("Don't go jumping waterfalls, please keep to the lake") to the chorus of Music/{{TLC}}'s later hit "Waterfalls" ("Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to"). Paul himself has pointed this out many times. |
| 6 | ** "Nice Age" by Music/YellowMagicOrchestra references the song with the line "she's coming up like a flower." The song's parent album, ''Music/{{Multiplies}}'', released a month after ''[=McCartney=] II''. |
| 7 | ** "Temporary Secretary" is a common subject for jokes in Music/SiIvaGunner rips, mashing the song up with various video game tracks. |
| 8 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Due to the amount of songs recorded for the album, it was originally conceived as a double album before Paul decided to ditch some tracks. "Darkroom" was almost cut out. |
