Notes
- Bob Wilson (born 1941) is a former footballer turned television sports presenter.
- An 'anchorman' is a news presenter.
- The title "Lark Descending" parodies that of the poem The Lark Ascending by George Meredith (1828–1909) and of the well-known classical music piece based upon it by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872–1958).
- Skiffle is a music genre usually employing homemade or improvised instruments, originating in the United States in the first half of the 20th century and revived in the UK in the 1950s.
- The song "New York Skiffle" parodies the 1959 single "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight?)" by Scottish skiffle player Lonnie Donegan.
- The song "New York Skiffle" includes the line "I've had the CBGBs", and also references Andy Warhol and Greenwich Village.
- New York Skiffle could also be a parody of a Graham Parker song "New York Shuffle"
- The Vatican, Rome includes the seat and bedchamber of the Pope, head of the Roman Catholic church.
- Slipknot, an American Nu metal band. "The singer" referred to is most likely Corey Taylor.
