    • Duracells and Energizers are popular brands of batteries.
  • The sound of tools operating rhythmically in the intro may have been inspired by Money by Pink Floyd
  • Al stated that he wouldn't ever perform this song in concert, because of the quick, hard-to-sing lyrics.
  • The song originally began as a grunge spoof in the style of the Presidents of the United States of America before developing into an original speed metal song. This was possibly inspired by Reunion's "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me".)
