Music

The music featured in Salad Fingers is mostly taken from the Boards of Canada album Geogaddinotably, "Beware the Friendly Stranger", which plays through the whole first episode. In the second episode, there is a section with no music at all, followed by an original track from David Firth. Other music included in Salad Fingers episodes include works from the likes of Brian Eno, Sigur Rós, Aphex Twin and Lustmord.

David Firth frequently inserts references to Aphex Twin in his flash cartoons; for example, the Aphex Twin logo can be found on a telephone in the fifth episode. Firth has also cited the works of David Lynch, South Park, Tim Burton, The League of Gentlemen, and Chris Morris as sources of inspiration.
