'Girl Keeps Coming Apart' includes a couplet borrowed from Frank Zappa's 'Dinah-Moe Humm' from Over-Nite Sensation: 'She was buns up and kneelin' / I was wheelin' and dealin''.

41st Century Splendid Man is another King Crimson reference, to '21st Century Schizoid Man'.The cover art ◊ is also a clear homage to that of Black Sabbath's self-titled album ◊. Starless And Bible Black Sabbath similarly combines a King Crimson album title with Black Sabbath.Absolutely Freak Out (Zap Your Mind!!) mashes up the titles of two Mothers Of Invention albums, Absolutely Free and Freak Out.Acid Mothers Temple are fond of titling their albums or songs with punning references to their influences.The music video is even about superheroes.

3 Doors Down's song 'Kryptonite' is obviously a Superman reference.

CB Radio's True Loves references John Wilkes Booth, MacBook, and Toucan Sam.

Big Sean's 'Supa Dupa' references Elton John, JoJo, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, Mortal Kombat, Robocop, Roots, The Silence of the Lambs, The Simpsons, and Super Mario Bros.As far back as the 80's, Big Daddy Kane referred to his style as 'Transformin' on stage like a Decepticon.'.
