 * 2:09, 3:42, 4:09 - Throughout the track, a scream just like the one heard in "[[You Could Feel The Sky]]", but not reversed or distorted. You can hear the scream clearly on the right channel.
 * 3:20 onwards - ''"1969 in the sunshine"'' female vocoded voice, similar to the voice on [[One Very Important Thought]] and the counting number sequence on "[[Aquarius (song)|Aquarius]]". The vocal sample is inverted across the stereo channels, meaning that if you listen to the song in mono, it is practically inaudible.
-* The Drums starting at 0:38 are sampled from the 1973 song “Jungle Lion (Double Seven Version)” by The Upsetters.

 * While it is tempting to conclude that, given the lyrics, the "religious group" referred to is the [[wikipedia:Branch Davidians|Branch Davidians]], the year 1969 does not appear to have had any notable significance in the history of that group. The song title more likely refers to either the establishment of the [[wikipedia:Tony Alamo|Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation]] or the authoring of the Satanic Bible, both of which occurred in 1969.<ref>http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858511818</ref>
 * It is worth noting that "[[1969]]", "[[Sixtyniner]]" and "[[June 9th]]" all reference "69". Also, it is one number below the number 70, ([[Music70]] being [[Boards of Canada]]'s record label). 70 is also referenced in songs "[[The Smallest Weird Number]]" and "[[Sixtyten]]".
