* ''Roy G. Biv'' is a common mnemonic for the order of the colours of the rainbow, like 'Richard of York gave battle in vain'. [DC]<br />
* The song was used in season two, episode three of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Mitchell_and_Webb_Look That Mitchell and Webb Look].<br />
* Even moreso than other tracks by [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], Roygbiv is redolent of the musical styles of Canadian public television in the late 1970s and early 1980s, particularly the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fY2-I11O-w theme to the TVOntario chat show ''Realities'']. <br />
* "Roygbiv - [[Alphaquest]] Mix" was a remix done by [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] specially for someone called Andy Soosay's student film. The track was leaked onto the net and is understood to be genuine. It's longer than the original at 6:23. The mix begins with the track "[[Bocuma]]" in its entirety. It's backed up by images of the actual DAT inlay which contains nuggets such as "Custom DIY job for Andy Soosay", "Date Time: Thursday 15th May 1997", "SOURCE: Brown source or tomato source" and "COMMENTS: Yeah, it's pretty good". <br />
**Additional words in the Alpha Quest mix are as follows:<br />
<blockquote><br />
Doorways up and down the hall<br /><br />
Wonder what's behind them all<br /><br />
Doors that lead to anywhere<br /><br />
Got to A, B, C, what's there<br /><br />
Got to A, B, C, decide<br /><br />
Where's the door I haven't tried<br /><br />
A, B, C, D, East and West<br /><br />
Going on an Alphaquest!<br />
