* In the adult film [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128647/ "Summer of '72"] (which is the source of samples found in "[[Sixtyniner]]" / "[[Sir Prancelot Brainfire]]", "[[Niagara]]" and "[[P:C:]]"), there is a character duo named "Julie" and "Candy", so the title may be a reference to them.

* In interviews, [[Boards of Canada]] have used "[[Julie And Candy]]" as a point of reference for their approach to music production:
 
−
<blockquote>In the past, we've taken a much more minimal approach to the texture, like single melody lines where you could clearly hear the      instrument. I guess we're heading back toward that empty sound now after Geogaddi, but sometimes it's nice to make a track that just sounds like a weird cacophony of undefined instruments. ''Most of "[[Julie And Candy]]" was actually made up of recorders and flutes.<ref>[[Interviews#2002-07-01:_Remix|Remix Magazine, July 2002]]</ref></blockquote>
 
  
−
<blockquote>We don't like using digital things or computer effects so we get sounds by doing things like running whole parts through a really bad tape recorder or something like that. ''Like the intro on "[[Julie And Candy]]" for example, we just played the melody on a couple of whistles and then we bounced it back and forward between the internal mics of two tape-decks until the sound started disappearing into hell. Like when you look at an image reflected within two mirrors forever, in the distance it gets darker and greener and murkier.<ref>[[Interviews#2002-02:_HMV|HMV Magazine, February 2002]]</ref></blockquote>

*From 4:00 to about 4:40, a female voice can be heard quickly saying, "Hey!"  It starts at 4:00, it's very easy to hear at 4:26 and 4:33.  It comes from the left side.
