  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Their first four albums, which were released only on cassette. While For Diehards Only and Diehards II include most of the songs from these albums, they're also missing most of the interstitial skits. Also, the songs from Yoopanese were re-recorded for the former.
  • Name's the Same: No, that was not the same Lynn Anderson who sang "Rose Garden".
  • No-Hit Wonder
  • The Pete Best: Jim Pennell, the original bassist. He never got a lead vocal and was gone around the time "Second Week of Deer Camp" came out.
    • Third bassist Doc Bradbury never got a lead vocal, either.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Da Yoopers often let local musicians perform as guests on their albums. One of them, "Cowboy" Dan Collins, sang backup on Culture Shock and One Can Short of a Six-Pack before becoming an official member on We're Still Rockin'.
  • Throw It In: Joe Potila mumbles "I messed up" at the end of "Nudsie's Wedding Reception".
