Line 30:
# '''Cadmium''': "[[Evanescence|Lithium]]" is retooled to be about a man's struggle with loneliness and dying RC car batteries after his stinginess drives everyone else away. [[Shaggy Dog Story|In the end, he still has no friends]]. But his willingness to spend money on new nickel-cadmium batteries means that [[Man Child|at least his toy cars work again]].
# '''The Bison's Apocalypse''': To the tune of Gym Class Heroes' "Cupid's Chokehold," a [[Flying Brick]] buffalo with all the subtlety of [[Godzilla]] goes around the world finding creative ways to kill anyone [[This Cannot Be!|who claims it can't be done]]. A lone prophet must [[Walk the Earth]] and warn everyone before they are massacred for their arrogance.
# '''Serial Bomber''': [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]. To the tune of "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.
# '''Serial Bomber, Pt. 2''': Remember the Numa Numa meme? Imagine it being sung by a man on a blimp who's about to be blown out of the sky by the serial bomber from the first song, solely because his wife's on the blimp and she was unfaithful to him.
Line 58:
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: "Phantasmic," "Doughboy," "Cadmium," "As One," and "That One" are ''not'' about death.
* [[And Your Little Dog, Too]]:
{{quote| "Then Roo was killed. / That left Kanga wishing she could kill herself.../" —"Hundred-Acre Woodland Massacre"}}
* [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]: Salt the Raging (Dwarf) Hamster, natch.
Line 83:
* [[Off With His Head|Off With Her Head]]: Happens to the Evil Hair Maiden.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: A good lot of the lyrics are about taking the original songs and making them sound [[Up to Eleven|more violent than they have to]]...then pushing ''that'' [[Serial Escalation]]
** The Crowning Moment of [[Refuge in Audacity]] is probably "War Crimes;" which fits ethnic cleansing, mass graves, targeting of civilians, land mines, mustard gas, nukes, Staph infections, Navajo flu, [[And Your Little Dog, Too|puppy slaughter]], [[Moral Event Horizon|chlorine triflouride assaults]], and mutilation - all in one song!
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: The [[Revenge Fic|entire point]] of "Die Die Die."
* [[The Scrooge]]: Our singer character in "Cadmium."
* [[Shown Their Work]]: All the processes of killing and roasting chickens and ducks mentioned in "The Only Resort" and "Meat Cleaver" come from someone with experience in butchering poultry. (And [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|talking down to both]].)
* [[Shout Out]]: A lot of the gimmicks used in "Serial Bomber" to blow up the convertible are actually references to ''[[Grand Theft Auto III (Video Game)|Grand Theft Auto III]]'' and ''Forensic Files''. The "green T-shirt" is a reference to stoplight parties, where only singles are supposed to wear green.
* [[Start of Darkness]]:
{{quote| "Jerry the Psycho Reindeer / always had a bloody nose / Got dead rats in his mailbox / followed everywhere he goes..."}}
* [[Transformation Trauma]]: Implied to the wolfman in "On the Ethics of Creating Werewolves."
* [[Well
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: How [[Monster Misogyny|women]] (and only ''[[Double Standard|sometimes]]'' men) end up dead in the Serial Bomber Trilogy.
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: Kanga's head gets blown off with a shotgun in "Massacre".
