Miscellanea

The track "The Other Side" contains a quotation closely paraphrasing a line from the poem "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman:
Scissor Sisters: "Everything that comes to me as good belongs to you."
Walt Whitman: "For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."

The song, "The Other Side" is partially based on "In the Machine", the first third of the novel "Specimen Days", by American novelist Michael Cunningham, famous for the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Hours (later made into an Academy Award-winning film starring Nicole Kidman as Virginia Woolf). 'Specimen Days' is inspired by the writings of Walt Whitman in much the same way 'The Hours' was inspired by Virginia Woolf. Michael Cunningham is one of Jake Shears' favorite writers and gave Shears an advance copy of 'Specimen Days'. Shears wrote "Other Side" soon after reading it

The song "Everybody Wants the Same Thing" was first performed live at the London Live 8 on July 2nd, 2005. They were the only band to perform a new, unrecorded song at Live 8.

The song "I Can't Decide" was featured in the Doctor Who episode "Last of the Time Lords", specifically referred to as "Track Three". It was also included at the end of Zero Punctuation's review of the game BioShock.

"Ooh" can be heard in the background of the Ugly Betty episode "I'm Coming Out", during the Fashion Week scenes.

Anderson Cooper, host of Anderson Cooper 360, is noted in the acknowledgment section of the album. The album's lead single, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" was recently used in the opening scene of the new ABC drama, Private Practice (the Grey's Anatomy spinoff), wherein the show's main character, Addison Montgomery, dances to it in the nude, after taking a shower.
