TRIVIA FIESTA!
- This album was originally known as "Steven Seagull, Richard Gecko, Dean Crane, and Russell Crow", hence the cover art; however, the title had to be changed after being rejected by streaming services as material "designed to mislead customers by mimicking popular content or search terms." Considering the band always referred to this as "The Celebrity Album", coming up with an alternate name was easy.
- Starting on this album, Earthworm in Cowboy Hat stopped labeling one of his tracks as a "single", citing it as "pointless". The original idea was that each person would label one of their tracks as a "single", which would then signal which ones were top priority for music videos, or other promotional tools. CheeseCoat McTafferson continued to label one as a single, just for the sake of sounding like they are a real band.
- CheeseCoat's single, and the only one on the disc (see above) is by far the longest track in N5's history, clocking in at just over ten-and-a-half minutes. It's also considered one of their finest, appearing on "Freezerburn: The Best of ColdmaN2005." It was made that long in response to the fact that Earthworm was planning a track that would beat CheeseCoat's previous mark of 6:44, set by "Lightbulb Boogie", off "Cold as Ice", the band's debut album. Wanting the record for longest song, CheeseCoat set out to counter Earthworm's planned track with "Barry Manilow", and succeeded. It has been said that both Earthworm and CheeseCoat will never attempt to beat it.
- This disc had the most tracks of any N5 studio album, until it was edged out in November, 2006 by its "sequel"--CheeseCoat McTafferson's "New Line Cinnamon Presents...", a solo album made my Cheesy-C shortly after Earthworm announced he was quitting the band. That CD had 17 tracks.
- Clocking in at three minutes past the hour mark, this is N5's longest non-compilation CD to date.
- Despite the overwhelming odds against a band having any songs about a "group of eyebrows", who appear here to ruin Matthew Broderick's Christmas, ColdmaN5 have two: they would return to take the world lead in toboggan sleds just one disc later.
- The album's title and artwork had to be changed due to issues from streaming services. The original title is at the top in parenthesis; the original artwork can be found here.
