"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.
