Line 45:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Interestingly inverted. When the band first came to prominence, Haines was known for wearing skinny short skirts and frantic, hip-shaking dancing (which was a staple of their early music videos). As time progressed, however, she dropped the dancing and settled on more conventional attire.
* [[New Sound Album]]: ''Live It Out'' dialed back the synthesizers and focused on heavy bass and guitar work, partially splintering the group's fanbase. ''Fantasies'' returned to the fusion of synthesizer-guitar that was prevalent on ''Old World Underground''.
* [[No
* [[Obligatory Bondage Song]]: "Torture Me". The video for "Poster of a Girl" also invokes bondage imagery, with Haines wrapping her hands in white strips of fabric and simulating being tied up.
* [[Obsession Song]]: "Poster of a Girl", which depending on your interpretation, is either Haines obsessing over random sexual encounters or her reaction to someone who's infatuated with her.
Line 52:
* [[Ripped from the Headlines]]: ''Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?'' is one long rant at the U.S. government's occupation of Iraq in 2002-2003. Several of the music videos (Combat Baby, Succexy) invoke anti-war imagery, and several of the songs (I.O.U. and others) reference child soldiers and anti-war sentiments.
* [[Sanity Slippage Song]]: "Monster Hospital" and the accompanying music video.
* [[Shout
* [[Song of Song Titles]]: "Gimme Sympathy" invokes [[The Rolling Stones]]' "Gimme Shelter" and "Sympathy For The Devil", and the lyrics reference "Here Comes The Sun" by [[The Beatles]].
* [[Surreal Music Video]]: "Dead Disco" has the band playing in a studio with psychadelic imagery overlaid in the background - and Haines' [[Fan Service|gyrating hips]].
