=== Goldfrapp provide examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]: The band was named after the lead's last name.
* [[Bi the Way]]: Alison
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: From "Fondue Knights": "Feel so small/underneath these skies/this dirty porn star/isn't big enough." Wait, ''what?!''
* [[Call Back]]: Whether intentional or not, "Caravan Girl" (''We'll run away, run away, you and me.'') seems to reference "Twist" (''I want to run away with you, your caravan and rabbit stew.'')
* [[Careful Withwith That Axe]]: "Slippage"
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: "Black Cherry". [http://youtu.be/bYFuwKfd2EA Their remix for] [[Lady Gaga]]'s "Judas" does this for the original song, [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Dream Team]]: Worked with [[Christina Aguilera]] on her "Bionic" album
Line 36:
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: ''Black Cherry'' as compared to ''Felt Mountain''.
* [[Incredibly Long Note]]: "Slippage"
* [[Intercourse Withwith You]]: By the truckload (Probably every song on ''Black Cherry'') - "Crystalline Green", "Train", "Twist", "Slippage", "Strict Machine", "Ooh La La", "Little Death", "Hairy Trees"...
** "Strict Machine" is probably [[Cargo Ship|Intercourse With Marital Aids]].
* [[In the Style Of]]: The song "I Wanna Life" was criticized for sounding like Irene Cara (of Flashdance fame).
Line 45:
** A version of this appears in the video for "Alive". The video is entirely dark and creepy ''because'' the song and lyrics are so bright and happy.
* [[Lyrical Shoehorn]]: "Train", "Deer Stop", "You Never Know"
* [[Mind Screw]]: The videos for "Ride A White Horse" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSdZAkA4VpA Alive]", the last appearing to be a cross between ''[[Xanadu (Film)|Xanadu]]'', an exercise video and a Satanic ritual.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Alison.
* [[New Sound Album]]: Every single one. From cinematic, spy-film ambience (''Felt Mountain''), to poppy electroclash (''Black Cherry''), to 70's glam (''Supernature''), to soothing folktronica (''Seventh Tree''), to 80's synthpop (''Head First'').
Line 51:
* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]: "How? Long? Now? Honestly, how? Long? Now?" from "You Never Know"
** To an extent, "Koko".
* [[Sanity Slippage Song]]: "[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Slippage]]"
* [[Signature Song]]: "Ooh La La" or "Strict Machine"
* [[Singing Simlish]]: "Oompa Radar", "Felt Mountain", "Slippage", "Voicething" and "Gone To Earth".
Line 59:
** "Little Bird", "Road to Somewhere" and "Cologne Cerrone Houdini" from ''Seventh Tree''.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: "Touch my garden" from "Hairy Trees"
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]]: Most if not all of ''Felt Mountain''.
* [[Word Salad Lyrics]]
