Re: Any other pop culture references?
Thinking of sounds in particular, and this may have been mooted years ago before I was a Dirt, but I have this theory about the kind of yappy noise in the "chorus" bit of King of Snake - I can't describe it any other way.

At the time, those horrible little grey plastic "cyberdogs" called Textra were the toy all boys wanted for Christmas. Someone with a sick sense of humour bought one for my little 'un at the time. And they emitted this horrible electronic yap, which I am still convinced was sampled for that bit of the track. I may be totally wrong, but that is what I think of every time I hear it.

There is one of those horrible things for sale on eBay, btw...
