  • "In Rave We Trust" contains an interpolation of the 1974 song "Amateur Hour" by Sparks.

The melody has previously been used by Scooter in the song "The United Vibe" from the 2007 album The Ultimate Aural Orgasm. Both Scooter songs are probably inspired by the 2003 song "Goin' Crazy (Cum Fiesta)" by Hard Body Babes.[citation needed]

  • "As the Years Go By" contains an interpolation of the 1999 song "Ein Lied für diese Welt" by Dana Winner.
  • "The Roof" contains an interpolation of the 1974 song "Only You Can" by Fox.
  • "Kiss Goodnight" contains an interpolation of the 2002 song "Let's Play" by Lexy & K-Paul feat. Atomek Dogg.
  • "The Darkside" is a rework of the 1999 song by Hypetraxx.
  • "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is based on the same name 1979 song taken from the motion picture Monty Python's Life of Brian.
