There were some issues over Ashley's English theme. If the record is spun fast enough in the Turntable souvenir during the first solo, it would supposedly come out with the words "I have granted kids to [[Hell]]." However, Nintendo and ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' both stated that it was an accident and the words come out like that due to it meshing pieces of the song together.<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 193|date=July 2005|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}{{page needed}}</ref> The real words are as the following:

These words form a sentence like "Eye of grand this kitt soo tal," which is misheard as "I have granted kids to Hell."

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The names of the spells Ashley casts in the Japanese version of the song are derived from reversing メイドインワリオイズナンバーワン (''Meido in Wario izu Nanbā Wan''), or "Made in Wario is Number One". (''Made in Wario'' is the Japanese title of the ''WarioWare'' series.) Rather than reversing each Japanese kana, the letters of the romanization are reversed, and then this phrase is approximated back into kana.
*If the lines in the Japanese version of Ashley's spells are read backwards, it says "''umeido in uario ijū nanuba wan''", or "Made in Wario Is Number One" ("''Made in Wario''" is the Japanese title of "''WarioWare''" games).

*In the English version of this verse, Ashley lists "eye of newt" as an implied ingredient in her spell. This is a reference to a popular scene from [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''{{iw|wikipedia|Macbeth}}'' where the {{iw|wikipedia|Three Witches}} recite it as an ingredient in a potion.
