* [[Author Existence Failure]]: Karen's well-publicized death from anorexia nervosa (and possibly also bulimia) at the age of 33 is one of the band's main fame points today.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] -- after Karen broke up with him, songwriter Tom Bahler wrote what would eventually become a [[Michael Jackson]] hit, "She's Out Of My Life."
* [[Self -Backing Vocalist]]: another major component of their fame. Most of their singles involve Richard and Karen overdubbed numerous times on backing vocals, often using chords most [[Three Chords and The Truth|rock bands]] have never even heard of.
* [[Silly Love Songs]]: the final selling point.
* [[Spell My Name With a "The"]]: A notable aversion.
