== Notes ==

* The name "H.T" has been theorized to be an abbreviation for "Humanoid Typhoon," but this has never been confirmed.
* The song's name is often misspelled as "H.T.", adding a second "." after the T, as seen on [[Trigun Spicy Stewed Donut|Spicy Stewed Donut's]] album packaging.

* [[Trigun Spicy Stewed Donut| Trigun: Spicy Stewed Donut]] incorrectly gives the song the name "Hard Target" by online music databases, including [https://www.nielsen.com/solutions/content-metadata/global-music-data/ Gracenote].
