| + | *"[[Snake Eyes and Sissies]]" was initially meant to be the album's lead single, but "Get Your Gunn" was released instead. | ||
| + | *According to photos on his MySpace profile, former Marilyn Manson guitarist Scott Putesky, better known as Daisy Berkowitz, can be seen playing a Jackson Soloist in the song's music video. Putesky also states the video was filmed in Texas.<ref>[http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=20040870&albumID=1538771&imageID=28158424 ''In Texas on the set of Get Your Gunn - Ouija Jackson Soloist - lots of fog machine action'']. MySpace Music. [[Scott Putesky]].</ref> | ||
| + | *After the lyrics "I am the vhs/Record me with your fist/You want me to save the world/I'm just a little girl" (Which occur at 2:29) a clip from Budd Dwyer's suicide can be heard. | ||
| + | *The song's spelling of ''Gunn'' is in reference to the murdered abortion specialist, Dr. David Gunn; Manson cited this as the ultimate irony. | ||
| + | *The line "I hate, therefore I am" is a play on the phrase "I think, therefore I am", which was originally stated by René Descartes. | ||
| + | *"The title is spelled with two n's because the song was a reaction to the murder of Dr. David Gunn, who was killed in Florida by pro-life activists while I was living there. That was the ultimate hypocrisy I witnessed growing up: that these people killed someone in the name of being "pro-life." - Marilyn Manson | ||
| + | *"Get Your Gunn", along with "[[Coma White]]" and "[[Tourniquet]]", was made available to download as a playable track on ''Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock'' on February 8, 2011 as part of the February Megapack. | ||
