*According to Rippy, the main chord progression of ''Bad Here Day'' was lifted from a different piece of music he recorded during the development of [[Wikipedia:Age of Empires III|Age of Empires III]] and [[Wikipedia:Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs|its first expansion pack]]. ''Bad Here Day'' was his first attempt at incorporating the "''Halo'' Sound" into his work.{{Ref/Reuse|rippy}}{{Ref/Reuse|OHWCS}}
