The lyric "Have some more Sprite" was lifted by Cuomo from the script of the [[2021]] film ''[[The Space Between]]'' (written by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0017620/ Will Aldis]), wherein the character Micky Adams ([[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]) encourages Charlie Porter (Jackson White) to "have some more 'Sprite'" (actually a beverage laced with drugs). Cuomo confirmed the connection in December of 2021, telling a fan, "I put the movie script into my machine. And when I was writing Piece of Cake, it suggested that line. I chose it without remembering where it came from."<ref>Rivers Cuomo. ''Discord''. 28 December 2021.
