The former of the two new influences is showcased in the tunefully memorable \"Pretty Please Me\" and \"If Stuart Could Talk\"; the latter is evident in \"Rosemary\" (with its Beatles-on-caffeine bridge), \"Wagon Train\" (which sports a broad tune that evokes comparisons to old Western T.V. show theme songs), \"Out of Sight, Out of Mind\" (featuring a chorus that echoes the one in Ricky Nelson's \"Garden Party\"), and especially the title track (which exhibits noticeable surf music and Chuck Berry influences and sets ironic, humorous lyrics detailing a Disney-based world takeover). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBows to their earlier punk influences can be seen in the uproariously funny \"She's a Hunchback\" (complete with smart-aleck references to the Victor Hugo novel) and a giddy cover of the Led Zeppelin classic \"Communication Breakdown.\" The 1988 re-release appends three songs (\"Gigantor,\" \"I'm Okay, You're Okay,\" and \"Bedrock Barney\") cast in the Dickies old cartoon hardcore manner; while all are likable and welcome, the addition of these numbers makes this release seem more stylistically schizophrenic than it originally was.
