* "The Production Line" recalls ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' once more with a line from the pre-chorus: "I am the very model of a model employee". It also squeezes in a cheeky reference to Creator/WhoopiGoldberg during a short rundown of the pieces of junk Stupes and Dan have to collect for the Company: two of which are a Whoopie cushion (Whoopie for short) and a gold bar.

-->'''Narrator (start):''' At the edge of understanding, the border of the known, the breaking point of reason, where logic is dethroned. Where sense is defenseless and festers on the bone, one writer fights a cycle trying to write a way back home. In Night Springs. Tonight's episode: The Rhythm.\\
'''Narrator (end)''': And there you have it. A viscious cycle scored by the hammer of keys and the ring of the typewriter. A writer cursed to relive his own words, trapped in a world of his own making. A novel concept. Everyone likes to get lost in a good book, but be careful what you read in Night Springs.

** This song has several references to ''Theatre/TheMusicMan'', a play about a shady salesman similar to Spamton, which includes multiple lines from the opening song "Rock Island" and the number "Ya Got Trouble". The introductory music when Spamton starts his pitch is also clearly inspired by "76 Trombones." Spamton also appears at multiple points wearing an outfit very similar to Robert Preston's iconic suit and hat from the original Broadway performance. The song also references ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' with the line "the very model of a modern major general store!"
