Academy Awards disqualification

"Vertigogo", the film's main theme, was submitted for consideration for an Academy Award, but was ultimately disqualified from consideration because of its incomprehensible lyrical content, despite the fact that Combustible Edison submitted a lyric sheet with their best written approximation of the lyrics.^[5]
