Notes

• Received from Yossarian, The Junkman when dressed in Frat Warrior Fatigues, or War Hippy Fatigues after having beaten enough Frat Warriors in the Battlefield.
• Using the molybdenum magnet does not consume a combat round, unless you attempt to use another item in the same round with the Ambidextrous Funkslinging skill.
• It appears that the locations may be randomized per player. You must let the enemies attack you (i.e., no Entangling Noodles) until one has a special combat message indicating the use of the tool you need at the given location.
• The gremlins never miss because of their gremlin juice. This allows the combat text to appear even for characters with very high Moxie.
• In order to obtain Yossarian's tools from the gremlins, the magnet must be used as a combat item in the round after a tool is mentioned in the gremlin's attack message. Combat will then end, and you will acquire the item.

The lyrics in question are "Who's gonna teach you how to dance?" and "Who's gonna ring your little bell?"
