Non-Specifically Foreign: It's unclear what nationalities DJ Crazy Times or Biljana Electronica are supposed to be, but Gordon has cited Danish group Aqua as his primary inspiration for the track, while the name "Biljana" is of South Slavic origin, indicating that they would be from those parts of Europe. There's also the "Bratislava!" Shout-Out. Additionally, Gordon stated on Twitter that he intended to film the song's music video solely in the former territories of Yugoslavia, hinting at the characters hailing from that region.

Mythology Gag: Biljana is portrayed by Audrey Trullinger in the official music video, but the other Biljanas (Mara Olney and Sabrina Brier) briefly appear on a computer screen as alternate options before she's finally created by a computer. One of the outfits worn by Biljana in the video (the pink tanktop with white pants) is the one seen in the initial viral clip of the song, which went on to produce quite a few pieces of fan art.

City Shout Outs: DJ Crazy Times shouts out Bratislava (the capital of Slovakia), a fairly random choice compared to some of Eastern Europe's more known cities.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: While the song itself was originally written in English, its Word Salad Lyrics are deliberately meant to invoke a hastily made translation for comedic effect.

Retraux: The song and video in general are this, but special mention goes to the "Original 1997 VHS Version" of the video, presented in 4:3 aspect ratio and 480p resolution with added film grain to make it look like an old VHS tape recording of an MTV broadcast from the late '90s.

Intentional Engrish for Funny: All of the lyrics count, spoofing the shaky Gratuitous English often heard in Eurodance songs.

Shout-Out
 Planet of the Bass (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Aliens being involved and the rather dodgy CGI evokes "I'm Blue". The light-and-poppy female vocals contrasting with the masculine, broody, (and sometimes horny) male vocals were inspired by Aqua, but are far more evocative of Culture Beat (especially "Mr. Vain") and especially Lords of Acid and E Rotic in being outright horny. In fact, the "I want sex on the phone" is a direct reference to... "Sex on the Phone" by E Rotic. The fanciful, but borderline nonsensical lyrics anthromorphizing music, along with the weird metaphors from the male singer, recall Snap's "Rhythm is a Dancer". No cancer here, though.

Word Salad Lyrics
 Planet of the Bass (Music) / int_e18675e6
comment
Word Salad Lyrics: Tying in with the song's parodying of Eurodance, the lyrics are deliberately nonsensical, as if they were originally written in a foreign language before being sloppily translated into English. This is particularly apparent with the verses, which features lines such as "Take your heart into a unicorn; If the sky is not green, but the sky is blue" and "Life, it never die; Women are my favorite guy."
