Trivia[]
- The Funktipus may be a reference to, or even a continuation of, the Funkapus; a character introduced by George Clinton in "Prelude", the opening track of Parliament's The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein.
- During some of his radio chatter, he quotes lines from songs by Clinton's musical ensemble, Parliament-Funkadelic.
- One of these lines is "funk upon a time", which comes right before the mention of the Funkapus in "Prelude".
