Influences

Several songs take the tune of popular American songs and attach different lyrics to them:

• “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” (“In the Army Now”)
• “Over the River and Through the Wood” (“Grandmother's House”)
• “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (“Jeffrey Dahmer and the Chocolate Factory”)

Many of the songs also allude to aspects of American popular culture, examples being how "McDahmers" refers to the McDonald's Corporation and its use of “McWords” as well as its former slogan of being "a happy place".
