Trivia / Reggatta de Blanc

• Multi-Disc Work: The original US vinyl release split the album across two 10" records rather than the traditional 12" LP. This limited-edition release would be quickly supplanted by a more conventional LP.
• Referenced by...: In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, peppy villagers may remark during Bunny Day about finding colorful bottles (which contain DIY recipes for Bunny Series furniture) on the beach, before stating that the sight inspired them to write some song lyrics. Said lyrics, appropriately, parody the chorus of "Message in a Bottle".
  "Message in a bottle, ooooohhhh; Makes me hungry for a waffle, ooooohhhh."
• Similarly Named Works: "Message in a Bottle" shares its name with a song by Taylor Swift.
• The Walrus Was Paul: Stewart Copeland explained that the line in "On Any Other Day" about "when the wombat comes" is intentionally meaningless and meant to confound people, comparing it to the references to scrambled eggs in the original lyrics of The Beatles' "Yesterday".
