- Was Yankovic pressured by his parents not to pursue music? Yes and no. As played by Toby Huss and Julianne Nicholson in the film, Yankovic's parents are hilariously restrictive — at one point, Huss' character smashes his son's beloved accordion to bits.
- Is Dr. Demento a real person? Yes! Barry Hansen, a.k.a Dr. Demento, really is a radio DJ specializing in novelty songs who gave Yankovic his start by playing "Belvedere Cruising" — an ode to the family station wagon — on his syndicated radio show.
