LeetStreet Boys: Difference between revisions

 

 

Founded in 2007 by vocalist/songwriter Matt Myers, and guitarist/producer Ryan “Frogs” McCormack, the band centers around a prep school punk singer (Matt), a metrosexual elf guitarist (Justin), a lesbian healer bassist (Rose) and a fire breathing dragon drummer (D-Dos). [[Don't Explain the Joke|Its name]] is a spoof on [[Backstreet Boys]], with the number 3s replacing the letter Es to form the popular gamer slang word, "l33t".

Japan itself mocked the ''LeetStreet Boys'' and the related Wapanese phenomenon on ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLawAtIpyg Netstar]''. Strangely, the group seems to be totally unaware of this, thinking that they have gained prominence in Japan and this was a tribute.

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: D-Dos. It's stated that he's not the only dragon in the universe.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Rose.

=== The songs provide examples of: ===

* [[Analogy Backfire]]: In "Yuri the only for me":

* [[Auto-Tune]]: Used frequently.

* [[Concept Video]]: Most of their official music videos are to some degree, but the one for "[[Guitar Hero]] Hero" is the best example.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Common given their style. "Guitar Hero Hero" namedrops "Through The Fire And Flames" in the lyrics, and one of the songs is called "Haruhi" (though fan opinion is divided as to which Haruhi they're referring to). Lots of video games and anime are also mentioned by name in the lyrics, usually in a punny way. "The Fanboy Of The Opera" contains the line "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain", a standard [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]''. "LeetStreet Fighter" even gives a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Penny Arcade]]''.

* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: From "Lady And The Trap":

She reached up my leg to grab my... hand. (wo-oh) }}

* [[Talks Like a Simile]]: Constantly.
