 * A distorted voice saying "bonds" can be heard several times in the track. This is from a National Film Board of Canada about Pete Standing Alone, the man this song is named after.<ref>http://forum.watmm.com/index.php?showtopic=39831</ref>
 * Starting at 5:04, you can hear a sound that sounds like a slide projector changing slide. It continues in time with the music.  It can also be heard briefly and quietly at 5:00, as if it was being started up.
