Trivia

• The cover of "Burger of the Night" is the first one released on YouTube to be from the Animation Domination YouTube channel instead of the Behind Bob's Burgers one.
• The National band member Aaron Desner recycled the instrumental for the cover of "Give It to Teddy" to produce Taylor Swift's song "Dorothea."
• The National recorded a cover of "It's Thanksgiving for Everbody," whose release became indefinitely postponed because of the Paris terrorist attacks in November 2015 that happened soon after the release of "Gayle Makin' Bob Sled," the episode featuring the song.
• The first song that the National covered is "Kill the Turkey," though it is not part of the collection. St. Vincent's cover of "Bad Girls" is the first official cover of the collection.
• "Meryl and Her Secret Admiral-irer Ballroom Dance" is not part of the collection, but it samples a cue used in "Secret Admiral-irer."
