  • One-Hit Wonder: Although Buckner & Garcia continued to release songs throughout the years, none of them were as popular as this.
  • Self-Remake:
    • When the album was re-released on CD in 1999, Buckner and Garcia were not allowed to access their original recordings from 1982, and Sony Music refused to release the original album on CD. Therefore, the band had to redo all of the songs with modern sound-alike recordings. This resulted in the remake of "Mouse Trap" having to use Stock Sound Effects because a functioning Mouse Trap arcade machine was not available.
    • For the movie Pixels, Jerry Buckner, vocalist Danny Jones, and Jace Hall used the vocals from the late Gary Garcia's master recording to record a new version, "Pac-Man Fever Eat Em' Up".
