Trivia
- The line "light a candle for the sinners, set the world on fire" that is spoken in the beginning of the song, is taken from a poem Manson wrote called "Stained Glass". The poem can be read on page 58 of Manson's autobiography The Long Hard Road out of Hell.
- The song features the same riff as "She's Not My Girlfriend", a song from Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids' 1990 cassette Grist-o-Line, albeit played faster. Curiously, Twiggy Ramirez is given sole credit for writing "1996", despite Daisy Berkowitz having composed the riff lifted from "She's Not My Girlfriend" several years before Ramirez had even joined the band.
