Lead Bassist | |
| Alien Ant Farm (Music) / int_6788e74a | comment |
Lead Bassist: Former bassist Tye Zamora, known not only for being skilled technically, but also because of his stage presence, and that he was the one making the Michael Jackson-noises in Smooth Criminal. | |

Careful with That Axe | |
| Alien Ant Farm (Music) / int_9da3227a | comment |
Careful with That Axe: Their cover of "Smooth Criminal" starts off with a full-volume scream to make sure the listener is paying attention. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Alien Ant Farm (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Movies" contains multiple vignettes played out by the band including sequences from: Ghostbusters - the band plays the Ghostbusters. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory - they dress as Oompa-Loompas The Karate Kid - the lead singer plays Daniel while the other band members play Cobra Kai members and Pat Morita makes a cameo appearance as Mr Miyagi. Edward Scissorhands - the drummer plays Edward while the rest of the band "play" bushes in the shape of instruments. "Smooth Criminal" has several shout outs to different iconic music video moments from Michael Jackson, specifically the lean from "Smooth Criminal", the freeze frame and light-up floors from "Billie Jean", and the dance from Michael Jackson's Thriller. | |

Cover Version | |
| Alien Ant Farm (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: Alien Ant Farm has the dubious distinction of being a one-hit wonder whose hit was not their own song, but a cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal". It was originally hidden on their debut album using synonyms: "Slick Thief". | |

Charlie and the Chocolate Parody: In the video for Movies, the gang dress as Oompa Loompas and play lollipop guitars. In addition, one of the moviegoers (whom is even dressed like Violet Beauregarde) turns into a blueberry. | |
