Trivia and references

• The album's title is a reference to Kryptonite, a fictional substance from the Superman mythos, and the phone booth on the cover is a reference to several comic book stories where Clark Kent would duck into a phone booth to change into his Superman costume. The title is a line from the album's first track, "Jimmy Olsen's Blues", which refers to Jimmy Olsen, a supporting character from the same mythos, supposedly being attracted to another character, Lois Lane, and is jealous of Lane's romantic feelings for Superman. The full line, "I've got a pocket full of Kryptonite", is a sexual double entendre. See also: Musical depictions of Superman.
  • In the months following the success of the album and the single release of "Jimmy Olsen's Blues", issues of the Superman: The Man of Steel comic (drawn at the time by artist Jon Bogdanove) depicted Jimmy Olsen wearing a Spin Doctors t-shirt as an in-joke.
• The song "Two Princes" can be heard in the 1993 film So I Married an Axe Murderer with Mike Myers.
• The song "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" was featured in the movies Beethoven's 2nd and Bye Bye Love.
• The song "Two Princes" featured prominently in the episode "Maid to Border" of The Sarah Silverman Program, as the only song her friend and neighbor has on his iPod.
