Certain aspects of the "Snowball" project were retained for the band's new album, including its title. Meier told the Dutch music magazine "Vinyl" in an interview in April 1985 that the name for the album had been inspired by one of the characters from "Snowball", saying, "Stella is a character of fiction. The idea is that it is a hysterical singer, sitting in a stalactite cave near Capri, singing his insane arias." The track "Stalakdrama" was intended to be the show's opening overture.
