The chorus is sung by a number of gun-toting white South Africans and a sheep, out on safari wearing Springbok jerseys, who bluntly describe themselves in a variety of insulting ways, such as "arrogant bastards who hate black people", "ignorant loud-mouths with no sense of humour" and "talentless murderers who smell like baboons".

Sealing wax is available in the form of sticks, sometimes with a wick, or as granules. The stick is melted at one end (but not ignited or blackened), or the granules heated in a spoon, normally using a flame, and then placed where required, usually on the flap of an envelope. While the wax is still soft and warm, the seal (preferably at the same temperature as the wax, for the best impression) should be quickly and firmly pressed into it and released.[1]

YouTuber jschlatt’s video titled "YOU CANT HIDE!" featuring Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren shows them playing the video game SpyParty. In the video jschlatt talks about his wealth of knowledge on the Enumclaw horse sex case.[36]
In episode 7 of the live podcast BoysThatStream the topic of the Enumclaw horse sex case is brought up by one of the members, Logan, as he had grown up near Enumclaw. Logan’s brief description of the story is quickly identified by jschlatt as the Enumclaw horse sex case.[37]
