Musical themes and ideas have been referenced from a range of sources (after all the devil can only steal not create):
- The Omen main title theme by Marco Beltrami
- Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield (as used in the Exorcist)
- Tempted by Squeeze
- Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles
- The Pink Room by Angelo Badalamenti
- Grenouille's childhood by Tykwer, Klimek, Heil as used in Perfume

Sadly a mashup of I Will Survive, Sympathy for the Devil, and I Feel Love didn't make the cut on this occasion. But maybe in a future project!  :-)
