* StylisticSuck: The music video slavishly follows the visual codes of '70s television, including laughable "aliens" and "spacemen" costumes, painfully obvious ChromaKey and other crappy special effects, over-the-top shots and camera moves, etc. Seriously, it's so "bad" in a well-done way and faithful to the tropes of the time, without knowing the context it's almost impossible to guess it's not a vintage music video.

"Procyon" is the name of a genus, so it should always be capitalized and either italicized or underlined.


* ViewersAreGeniuses: One of the lyrics for the number is "Getting down and dirty with a ''procyon lotor''." ''Procyon lotor'' is the scientific name for "raccoon". This refers, naturally, to Rocket Raccoon. The video puts those words on the screen, presumably so viewers can look them up.
