The song "I'm Not" samples the rondeau Rose, liz, printemps, verdure by Guillaume de Machaut, recorded by the early-music vocal group the Gothic Voices (on their album "The Mirror of Narcissus").
The title of Arctic Monkeys' debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, is a direct quote from the book, and many of its songs were inspired by the protagonist, Arthur.
