In the presentation of the band, Martinez jokes with the name of the Polish piano player Wlodek Gulgowski. He calls him in Swedish 'Vidlök', meaning 'garlic', playing on the sound similarities between Swedish pronounciation of 'Wlodek' and 'vidlök'. Gulgowski had just arrived in Sweden in , playing as part of the Pop Workshop, and would later be part of the reconstituted Made In Sweden.
