Notes
Tragic Kingdom is a common slang term in the Anaheim area (North Orange County, CA) for Disneyland (a.k.a. the Magic Kingdom), and the Matterhorn Bobsleds disembark spiel (voice of Jack Wagner, "The Voice of Disneyland") are the intro of the song. More specifically, the song may refer to the deterioration of Disneyland during the 90s. The "king" described in the song, for example, cries icicles -- a reference to the urban legend that Walt Disney was cryonically frozen. The tragedy refers to the deaths and injuries that were allegedly covered up to keep the Disneyland image unblemished. Urban legend says that no one has ever "officially" died while in the park. A reference is also made to the Main Street Electrical Parade.

Miscellanea

  • Tragic Kingdom, which sold over 15 million copies worldwide, mainly reflects on the failed 7-year romance of Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal. The dedicated CD features top hits such as "Don't Speak" and "Just a Girl".
  • The red vinyl dress worn on the cover of Tragic Kingdom was stolen from the Orange County, California museum. The dress was on a mannequin behind a plastic glass wall, and disappeared on January 11, 2005 from "The Orange Groove: Orange County's Rock n' Roll History", an exhibit dedicated to the history of rock music in Orange County.
