Trivia

• Evan Moss sings along to "Maneater" - Hall & Oates, in the opening sequence of the mission Bang Bang, this is the only time you can hear this song in the game if you own the downloadable version, as Vice City FM appears only on the Disc version.
• "The Look" - Roxette is a song which plays in one of The Ballad of Gay Tony trailers. It's also played at a Strip Club if the player chooses for a 2nd or 3rd dance.
• On an in-game poster advertising the radio station, there is a list of bands featured. Interestingly "Go West" and "Tears For Fears" are listed, but no songs are in the playlist, suggesting they were dropped during development, however, no song titles from these bands are seen in the file "american.gxt".
• Speaking about "amercian.gxt", songs planned for the station, but dropped during development, are listed in the file "american.gxt" :
  • Belouis Some - "Imagination"
