There were some issues over Ashley's English theme. If the record is spun fast enough in the Turntable souvenir during the first solo, it would supposedly come out with the words "I have granted kids to [[Hell]]." However, Nintendo and ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' both stated that it was an accident and the words come out like that due to it meshing pieces of the song together.<ref>{{cite|quote="We've received a lot of letters about this. What happens when you use the fast-forward function is that it skips most of the words in the song, playing only certain syllables. The fact that those syllables form the phrase you mentioned is just a (very) creepy coincidence."|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 193|page=12|date=July 2005|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> The real words are as the following:

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*The names of the spells Ashley casts in the Japanese version of the song are derived from reversing メイドインワリオイズナンバーワン (''Meido in Wario izu Nanbā Wan''), or "Made in Wario is Number One". (''Made in Wario'' is the Japanese title of the ''WarioWare'' series.) Rather than reversing each Japanese kana, the letters of the romanization are reversed, and then this phrase is approximated back into kana.
