The song "In Your Wildest Dreams" (along with "The Reverend" himself) was featured in a Homicide: Life on the Street episode from season four, entitled "Full Moon". Also, the song "I Can't Surf" appears in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and "Baddest of the Bad" appeared in Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.
The album title is from a double entendre, "Liquor ("lick her") in the front, poker ("poke her") in the rear".
