"The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" was influenced by the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", both in the title of the song and through the song's opening refrain.
Tim Smith on how the song Roscoe was created: "On that particular day, there was a baby grand piano in the living room. We were borrowing it from someone, and we only had it for a few days. I was screwing around and came up with the riff, and I immediately thought, "That's M*A*S*H! That's the theme song from M*A*S*H. It's very beautiful. I wish I could use this." I recorded the riff on a tape real quick and put it away. Several weeks later, I came back to it and thought, "Man, this can be a Midlake song. It doesn't have to be the M*A*S*H theme song."
