A long standing rumor within Primus fans is that they've never played this song live, due to it not being listed on the site Toasterland which covers setlists of the band throughout its years and covers many of Claypool's various sideprojects. It has been long unconfirmed whether or not they did it live but there are people who have eyewitness accounts to them doing it. It stayed this way until December 31, 2006 when a bootleg showed up on the Internet of the band playing it at the first Lollapalooza '93 show in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

"Welcome To This World" was also played in an episode of South Park along with the song "Pork Soda. Kyle has a religious experience, and as his disembodied head floats through the air, a shortened version of this song starts playing which then cuts into a shortened verion on "Pork Soda".
