The only songs unrelated to the album's concept of heartbreak are "BRAINS!", one of Voltaire's most memorable songs, that he originally wrote for The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episode "Little Rock of Horrors"; "Graveyard Picnic", a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe and his works; "Bachelorette" and "Caught a Lite Sneeze", covers of Björk and Tori Amos, respectively; and "The Vampire Club", a light satire about the goth subculture. A new version of "The Vampire Club", re-written to satirize the Twilight series of novels/films, would appear on his 2010 compilation Spooky Songs for Creepy Kids.
