In the original release of this episode, the German song "Major Tom," which is played while Tom Keen shaves his head, is performed by the German singer Peter Schilling. It was a hit in the 80s as a part of the "Neue deutsche Welle" (new German wave). It is about an astronaut (Major Tom) travelling to space. The song is a retelling of David Bowie's 1969 hit "Space Oddity." The song is cut matching to the scene ignoring the meaning of the words. The last word "Scherz" (hoax) is missing the Z. For the Netflix release of this episode, Major Tom was replaced with "Feuerwasser" by German band Sturmfels.
