"Don't Fight it, Marsha, It's Bigger Than Both of Us" was originally recorded by an earlier band of McGlashan's, Blam Blam Blam. "The Heater" is used as a plot device in the Christopher Brookmyre novel Be My Enemy; two central characters bond over it, and it is used as a contrast against the manufactured pop music made by a minor villain.

gollark: If you enforced that, everything would just instantaneously become SaaS.
gollark: I introduced a bug while I was compactifying it slightly. I found out where the bug is, but it would be really annoying to fix.
gollark: Yes. This is just another one. I'm using it to make my code completely incomprehensible for a competition.
gollark: Sure.
