The Magnetic Fields: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Anchored Ship]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in the song "The One You Really Love":

You're dreaming of...the corpse you really love!'' }}

* [[Anti-Love Song]]: Over two-thirds of ''69 Love Songs'' falls into this trope, with titles like "How Fucking Romantic," "Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits," "A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off," and "The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be." And that's just the first disc!

** Also occasionally subverted into actual love songs, as with "Papa Was A Rodeo."

** Their debut single, "100,000 Fireflies" is a weird kind of subversion of this trope, being at once an earnest expression of love and something much darker:

You won't be happy anyway.'' }}

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Merritt seems to be fond of this. Such characters appear in ''Yeah! Oh Yeah'', ''Your Girlfriend's Face'' and ''California Girls'' (the latter with an actual ax).
