The Baby Stompers: Difference between revisions

== Tropes found in [[The Baby Stompers]] and their music ==

* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: From ''Fingering The Mother Bear'':

* [[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]].

* [[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:

* [[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.

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). }}

* [[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...

** Also, the song "Family Values" is about incest.

* [[Lyrical Tic]]: There are many examples of random 'fuck!'s and 'cunt's tossed in

* [[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''.

* [[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.

* [[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'':

"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 />
