Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking/Music: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* The Powerman5000 song "Supervillain" has:

* The [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al]] song "One of Those Days" includes a fair handful of such examples. One set of lines that matches the trope quite closely:

And I can't believe it, all the Cheetos are gone! }}

** Also, the side effects of the computer virus in "Virus Alert" alternate between threatening and ridiculous:

And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place }}

** The eponymous "CNR" is the most [[Badass]] person you've ever met]] and probably [[Chuck Norris]] come again. He can also eat a lot frozen waffles...

* [[The Bare Naked Ladies]] song ''Grade 9'' features this, whilst reminiscing about high school nicknames:

They called me Eddy... }}

** Although a possible interpretation is that Eddy's grade 9 experience wasn't as awful as the rest of the Ladies'.

* "The Chemical Worker's Song", or "Process Man" (most famous cover probably by Newfoundland band [[Great Big Sea]]), describes the horrific conditions faced in the chemical industry. It follows that the first verse uses this very dryly:

There's a lousy smell that smacks of Hell, and dust all in me hair! }}

** Justified, given that the dust in such a factory is probably just as toxic and life-shortening as anything else there, and he's covered in it.

* Psychostick's song ''We Ran Out of CD Space'' includes this, as well as [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]] in the subsequent verse.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfUe2eckPFQ Tsurupettan] has the line "Curses, disappearances, sacrifices, torture, demoning away, and sneak-eating?" at some point.

** Which is actually a reference to [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]], as evident by the mention of "Oyashiro-sama" right before it.

* Billy Connolly's "Talkin' Blues" includes the lines

With rifles, bayonettes, screw-tops and ''swear words'' }}

* Shoeles Joe Jackson in Jonathon Coulton's "Kenesaw Mountain Landis":

Killed and ate some babies, and he copped an attitude }}

* "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West: "They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus! That means guns, sex, lies, videotapes..." (Probably just a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Steven Soderbergh]]'s ''Sex, Lies, and Videotape''.)

** And "Girls will fuck you if you [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|drink straight from the milk jug]]."

* Lines from the song (no, not the trope) "Science Marches On" recite names of numerous technological innovations, all of which are very new, very silly, and/or very commercialized. Well, all except one:

** The song is a male/female duet, and needless to say, it's the woman who sings those last two words.

* Ray Steven's "Moonlight Special", a parody song involving a "Wolfman Jack"-like character doing a radio program, has a song by "Agnes Stupor" that begins: "Girl, flash an old lady now. Wreck the Family Car. Paint the Living Room Carpet. Chop down a cherry tree and say you didn't do it."

* The musical "The last hero on Earth" has a song where different mad scientists detail their plans for defeating the superheroes, culminating in "some exposition that will bore them all to death".

* The song "My Love is Killing Me" by The Red Elvises, as heard in the movie ''[[Six String Samurai]]'':

[[Groin Attack|I can forgive you the scars on my nuts]],<br />

[[Berserk Button|But there is only one thing I can't stand]],<br />

* In the Arrogant Worms' song "I Ran Away," some guys start hurling insults at the narrator's girlfriend. The first insult is, "She's a fat ugly tramp!" and the last is, "She's a mediocre soccer player!"

* From the chorus of ''God's Away on Business'' by [[Tom Waits]]:

Killers, thieves and [[Evil Lawyer Joke|lawyers!]] }}

* Mew's "Sometimes Life Isn't Easy":

Sever my limbs and deceive me... }}

** I can handle being beat up and dismembered, but then they have to go and ''lie'' to me?

* In ''A Chainsaw For Christmas'' by [[Zombina and the Skeletones]], a few other things on her list are;

* On the Group W bench in "[[Alice's Restaurant|Alices Restaurant]]", the ex-cons assembled there are guilty of mother-raping, father-stabbing, father-raping, and littering. (And causing a disturbance.)

* The monologue "[http://www.neverlandhotel.dk/lyrics.php?no=92 The Want Ad]", written by Jim Steinman for the "Pandora's Box" album, performed by Ellen Foley, is about a woman retracting her personal ad because of the long, long list of varieties of [[Abhorrent Admirer]] she's encountered since taking it out. The monologue starts with complaints about things like "the under-eighteens and the over-sixties, the numerous ones who dialed my number and hung up as soon as I said hello, the thirty-five or forty of you who made dates with me and never showed up", and ends with her screaming about "the drunks, junkies, crack- and coke-heads, the multitude of liars, AND ESPECIALLY THE NICE ONES WHO NEVER CALLED BACK!"

* [[Emilie Autumn]]'s "I know where you sleep" is one long [[Take That]] to an ex-lover. It ends with "And by the way, your poetry sucks".

* The fan-written song [[Portal 2|"Why,]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4KLv8Iuv7E Wheatley, Why?"] has this:

''Or asked you to buy me a hat'' }}

* From [[Weezer]]'s song ''Trainwrecks'':

We don't update our blogs }}

* [[Tom Petty]]’s Christmas list at the end of "Christmas All Over Again": "Now let’s see, I want a new Rickenbacker guitar, two fender bassmans, a Chuck Berry songbook, a xylophone..."

* The revised version of Kraftwerk's "Radioactivity" begins with a short statment about the proposed Sellafield 2 nuclear plant, which states that one of the radioactive elements, Krypton-85, causes death and.... skin cancer.

* The [[Lonely Island]] song ''Like a Boss'' features increasingly messed-up things the titular character does:
