## Trivia

* This is another game that has non base origins, actually originating from a university American Idiot Play, at the song "Give me Novacaine" at 37:10 - 38:00, the Military people start to jump back and 1 by 1 they stop moving (probably resembling they got shot and killed, but if so they could have done a more realistic job) except for 4, one of which is one of the 3 protags, and the other 3 die...or presumably do
* Another fun fact is that in Spring to the Ground the characters get up before they get cued up to jump, while in the musical... its highly inconsistant...one of the "Dead" moves their foot, one of the "dies" doesn't die quick enough as when they fall a explosion didn't happen unlike most the others, the back 2 are so unconfirmable to be dead due to the first falling behind the bed and the second crawling behind it while the other 4 just fall, oh and the protag is on the ground the whole time
* This is the SECOND Game in Base that Contains Laying Down, or atleast second in making order.
* The Non Player plays a drum to signify when the person should jump, and when a person should Lay their Feet Down.
* Ending a Game Early is ok, but going back to the Give Me Novacaine Fact you need to either stay Laying Down or Drag the Laying Down out of the room that way... you have to drag them to a Base spot known as a "Laid Down Spot" and putting them there instantly revives a Laying Down person, as long as they were in a game.
* This is the second Game to end with Everybody Playing to be on the floor, Laying Down.
* Despite being on the most simple...due to issues it could be one of the longest... Loopy Leaping also shares this issue.
* This is one of the games thats only point is to have people Lay Down on the floor, just making their pose a little more random, Loopy Leaping shares this issue, but its atleast a game while this is just Laying Down.
