The track "August 8th" makes reference to the death of Jerry Garcia. Songwriter Fat Mike commented that he wrote the song, "cuz I fucking hate the Grateful Dead, but it turns out I had the date wrong. He really dies on August 9th. Whoops. I guess I'm lame."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NOFX: Q&A )〕 According to Fat Mike, the first half of "The Black And White" is concerned with a repressed homosexual male living in "Small Town, USA".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NOFX: Q&A )〕 "Liza" revisits the lesbians Liza and Louise introduced on the 1992 album ''White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean''. The third song in the series, "Louise" is found on their eighth album ''Pump up the Valuum''.〔Zimmermann, Curtis. "(Pump Up the Valuum )". AllMusic.
