Line 66:
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful]]: In "John Barbour" a princess has gotten pregnant. When the king finds out that the father, John Barbour, isn't nobility, he plans to have him killed. But when the king sees how incredibly handsome the father is ("If I were a woman as I am a man, [[Even the Guys Want Him|my bedfellow you would be]]"), the king gives him the princess's hand in marriage, and offers to let him "take charge of all my lands."
* [[Shotgun Wedding]]: "Hit the Ground and Run" (co-written with Russell Crowe) tells the story of a poor boy who finds himself in this situation.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In ''Ordinary Day'', the second verse begins "Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying? / Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying". [[Word of God]] from Allan Doyle (at the 2016 Juno Songwriters' Circle) is that Janie is [[Jann Arden]], who was busking in [[Vancouver]] at the time the song was written.
* [[Something Something Leonard Bernstein]]: "It's The End of the World As We Know It" again - [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Studio Chatter]]: Several songs, which makes sense given their history of [[Audience Participation]]. For example, in "Jakey's Gin", one singer excitedly tells the other to start singing an entirely different drinking song.
