{{creatortropes}}
== Tropes found in [[The Baby Stompers]] and their music ==
* [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration]]: From ''Fingering The Mother Bear'':
{{quote| I found the cave was full of [[Everything's Worse with Bears|bears]]. Big, burly brown bears. And one bitch, well that bitch was the biggest brown burly, busty, buxom big-boobed bear I'd ever laid eyes on.}}
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: In ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'', track four is a mellow, funky instrumental<ref>the first version of ''Mowing the Lawn''</ref> and track five is brutal [[Death Metal]] instrumental ''Stomp''. Track six goes back down half a dozen levels in the [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]] with ''Taking A Shit''.
** This role is performed in ''The New Album: The Mowcore Era'' with "Acid and Party (feat. Dylan C)", then again with "DickAstley", "Fingering The Mother Bear", "Eclesiastic Sacerdotalistic Padre" and "So I Found This Vibrator There On eBay, Once". That album pretty much takes [[Genre Roulette]] [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 62:
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: "This is a song... by Ted. It's about... ''themes''... and - and fuckin' dragons, and trolls and shit."
** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Hilariously]], in the background at one point you can hear:
{{quote| I hate you, Ted. [[Take That|Fuck off]].}}
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: ''The Last Album: It's Finished'' clocks in at just under three minutes and contains one track, "We Can't Be Fucked (Fuck You)". Common theory and near-[[Word of God]] is that the brevity of this album is to demonstrate this sentiment.
{{quote| Kevin: Sometimes, you just can’t be fucked, you know? You want to do something but you can’t be fucked. So you don’t. You just say ‘fuck you’ to the problem and just [[Metaphorgotten|walk out of the recording studio and get trashed]]. And that’s what we’re trying to capture with this record.<br />
Jacob: All our songs are statements, and all our albums are visions. The vision we have here is “We can’t be fucked”.<br />
Dylan: And that’s why the track We Can’t Be Fucked (Fuck You) is called We Can’t Be Fucked (Fuck You). }}
* [[Either or Title]]: "F16"... is one of these. See its entry under [[Overly Long Title]].
Line 75:
* [[Intercourse with You]]: This pops up a lot in [[The Baby Stompers]]' work, largely anal sex. The song "Ted" is about the narrators receiving anal sex from the eponymous Ted (Ted! Stick your big dick up my arsehole! Ted! It's bleeding... ah... So painful...) - though [[Fridge Logic|presumably not at the same time]]; F16 is about an eight year-old being anally [[Shotacon|raped by a forty year-old man]] according to the title, with the lyrics referring more so to sex, often anal, in general; "Cheese Grater (Grate My Nipples)" deals with an intensely bizarre lesbian sexual encounter that gets steadily more ridiculous.
* [[Irony]]: "Mowing the Lawn" is about using a lawnmower to accomplish everything but. ''Everything but''. The one time mowing the lawn is actually mentioned...
{{quote| Didn't know the petrol ratio. Fuckin' couldn't mow me laaaaaawn...}}
** Also, the song "Family Values" is about incest.
* [[Lyrical Tic]]: There are many examples of random 'fuck!'s and 'cunt's tossed in
Line 87:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Ignoring the degree to which all their songs can be said to be this lyrically, "Fingering The Mother Bear" goes for ''seventeen minutes and twenty-five seconds'', almost all of which is ambient male wailing and improvised synthesiser.
** Not to mention the uses to which a lawn mower is put, culimnating in cancer being ''mowed out of someone's lungs''.
{{quote| Fuckin' cancer. Mowed that bitch out. ...ain't comin' back. ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|It's gone]]''!}}
* [[Scare Chord]]: The intro to ''Fingering The Mother Bear'' is full of these, largely for [[Rule of Cool]].
* [[Scatting]]: A lot of the songs feature this to a minor degree.
Line 97:
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The vocals are intentionally low quality, but this trope especially applies to the album artwork, all of which comprises images crudely edited together in Macromedia Fireworks.
* [[Throw It In]]: Nearly every single lyric is created this way, with the band improvising over the top of the music. Some examples, in the interest of brevity only from ''The Baby Stompers All Time Classics of the 60's, 70's and 80's'':
{{quote| "Wafer On The Wall": We'll just record and... let it come to us.<br />
"Cow Dick": That's a [[Title Drop|cow dick]].<br />
"Fuck": Cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt...<br />
"I Wanna Lay You Down By the Fire and Make Sweet Love to You While I Lovingly Caress Your Nipples": Nipples. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Fuck off Ted, I hate you.]]<br />
"Ben, Fuck": Fuck, Ben!<br />
And perhaps the greatest example of all...<br />
"F16": ([[Beat]]) Fuuuck! }}
** A straighter example would be the flubbed "I'll shove ya badger into the fucking... sh-" which trails off into laughter from ''That's Gravy, Dick''.
