Trivia
- The word “pseudo” is mispronounced in the version released on Hip To The Javabean. Although this was unintentional and Neil has endured many attempts to correct himself, the mistake seems to have become part of the song, as he still pronounces it that way when he performs Telekinesis live, such as at Lemonic Demonade.
- When Neil sings the phrase “and it mutates turtles” he is most likely referring to the “teenage mutant ninja turtles”, who were indeed mutated by radioactive slime.
- Telekinesis was featured on a radio show called "The Listener Hour", where an alternate mix was featured, where the piano is less audible. It starts at 35:27 of the recording.
