Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:lemondemon9_8509.png\|frame]] {{quote\| ''It’s [[Title Drop\|Lemon Demon]], oh, lemon out of hell!''~~<br />~~ ''It’s Lemon Demon, oh, you cannot resist the lemonade! .'' }} [[Lemon Demon]] is a one-man band by internet personality [[~~Neil Cicierega (Creator)\|~~Neil Cicierega]], active from 2003 onwards. To date, ~~six~~eight albums are released<ref>not including his older musical efforts</ref>, the first four of which now available for free, and there are some other singles and extended plays attributed to his music. Most of his songs could be considered [[Mind Screw]], though given he created [[Animutation]], this shouldn't be surprising. [[One of Us\|As a fan of]] [[~~Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)\|~~Mystery Science Theater 3000]], he had three songs inspired by it: "[[Pod People\|Idiot Control Now]]", "Smell Like A Cookie All Day", and "[[Nightmare Fuel]]". He is known largely for his song The ''[[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (~~Music~~song)\|Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]'' featuring many pop culture figures in a fight. == {{Discography ==}} * ''Clown Circus'' (2003) * ''Live From The Haunted Candle Shop'' (2003) Line 21: * ''View-Monster'' (2008) * ''Live (Only Not)'' (2011) * ''I Am Become Christmas'' (2012) * Upcoming album (TBA) * ''Nature Tapes'' (2014) * ''Spirit Phone'' (2016) * ''Something Glowing'' (2020) ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~=== Lemon Demon provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Abusive Parents]]: Downplayed in "As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It", and then Justified in "I Earn My Life". * [[Anti-Christmas Song]]: The entirety of the ''I Am Become Christmas'' EP. * [[Anti-Love Song]]: Only 2 of his love songs are actual love songs, the rest are parodies or subversions of some sort. * [[Ascended Meme]]: Is fond of "Brodyquest" and its continued popularity because in his words, it is "the stupidest song I've ever made" and he thinks it's funny. Helps that despite being a meme, it is still a very unknown meme. * [[Back from the Dead]]: Deconstructed in "Lifetime Achievement Award". * [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: A lot of his Lemon Demon songs start out as fairly tame before turning utterly bizarre. * [[Bow Chicka Wow Wow]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_128564&v=c7XzfM5K_Pk&feature=iv Part 3.4 of the interactive video "Haircut"]. "Do you slap her in the face, or do you [[Crowning Moment of Awesome\|Bow Chicka-Chicka Wow-Wow?]]" * [[Cozy Catastrophe]]: "Aurora Borealis" is about a romantic date at the end of the world. * [[Epic Instrumental Opener]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygI-2F8ApUM BRODYQUEST] starts off as a progressive instrumental track, until the name of the character walking throughout the whole thing starts begin chanted while he becomes the universe. * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Monkeys]]: Inverted with "Fiberglass Monkey." * [[Foe Yay]]: It seems to be going on in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfsb5HUFMQ0 "Ben Bernanke"], [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?\|from what can be]] [[Mind Screw\|understood of the song]]. * [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Not really with his voice so much as his works. It can be pretty mind-blowing to learn that the guy who wrote ''[[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (~~Music~~song)\|Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]'' is the same person as the guy who does ''[[Potter Puppet Pals]]'' is the same person as the guy who invented [[Animutation]] is the same as the guy who does those funny videos on [[YouTube]]. * [[I Am the Band]]: This is why [[Lemon Demon]] redirects to Neil's page. * [[I Fell for Hours]]: "I've Got Some Falling to Do" * [[I Love the Dead]]: Subverted in "Sweet Bod". * [[Knife Fight]]: [[Trope Namer]] * [[Limited Animation]]: The first three minutes of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygI-2F8ApUM BRODYQUEST], before Adrien Brody becomes a rock star and then becomes the universe (possibly). * [[Lonely Atat the Top]]: "It Can Get Lonely In My Mansion", about a man who builds all sorts of grandiose attractions in his house, only to discover than no-one really cares about them or him. * [[Loony Fan]]: "[[Calvin and Hobbes\|Bill Watterson]]," "Gonna Dig Up [[Star Wars\|Alec Guinness]]" * [[Mind Screw]]: Oh yeah. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGk2jSabED4 "Telekinesis"] is an especially good example. What about "Bowling Alley"? Even the narrator claims its like an acid trip.{{spoiler\|Not that he advocates drugs because [[Drugs Are Bad]] and stuff}}. "Sundial" is purposefully intended to be this, being a song with no meaning written to seem like it has a meaning. At this point its pretty much every other song. Most of his songs qualify, in fact. * [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds]]: "The Saga of You, Confused Destroyer of Planets" * [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: "Geeks In Love" * [[Overdrawn At the Blood Bank]]: Referenced in "Knife Fight". * [[Red Right Hand]]: "Atomic Copper Claw" * [[Robot War]]: "When Robots Attack!" * [[Rockstar Song]]: [[Defied Trope\|Defied]] with [https://web.archive.org/web/20130823155456/http://wiki.illemonati.com/Being_a_Rock_Star Being a Rock Star]. * [[Shout-Out]]: As mentioned, several to ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. A bonus track on View-Monster called "Nightmare Fuel" should qualify. He's pretty much the master of obscure and nerdy [[Shout-Out\|Shout Outs]] - after, all, he sang ''[[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (~~Music~~song)\|Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]''. ** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvrCoDZUwRg&feature=feedu Goosebumps] is a love song comprised of [[Goosebumps]] titles. * [[Surreal Music Video]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRisDso99s0 Word Disassociation]. The video is with pieces of paper with random words on them, put next to random places. God, I can't explain more. Line 55 ⟶ 65: * [[Toilet Humour]]: "Mr. Porta-Potty Man". * [[Trope Namer]]: For the [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]] and [[Knife Fight]] tropes. * [[Unflinching Walk]]: Parodied in "Action Movie Hero Boy". * [[Wetware CPU]]: "Cabinet Man", a song about someone who transplanted their brain and a few organs into an arcade cabinet. * [[Word Salad Lyrics]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRisDso99s0 "Word Disassociation"] is this trope taken more-or-less as far as it can go. * [[Yandere]]: "Ben Bernanke" has this vibe, [[Foe Yay\|among]] [[Mind Screw\|other]] [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick\|things.]] Line 61 ⟶ 73: {{reflist}} [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:Lemon Demon]]▼ [[Category:Music]] ▲[[Category:~~Lemon Demon~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
