Line 10:
You're dreaming of the one you really love<br />
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!
** Hell, most of Merritt's entire discography falls into this.
** Also occasionally subverted into actual love songs, as with "Papa Was A Rodeo."
Line 31:
* [[Instructional Title]]: ''How to Say Goodbye''
* [[Intercourse With You]]: "Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits" and "Three-Way" are less that subtle examples.
* [[Last -Second Word Swap]]: Two from "Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long": "you scare me out of my wits when you do that shiht-zu" and "I don't care what you fock-shounds do."
* [[Love Is a Drug]]: The entirety of the lyrics of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OrCxAIm-Bw "Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin"].
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: "A Pretty Girl Is Like..." keeps getting its similes mixed up until it finally concludes that a pretty girl is like... a pretty girl.
Line 38:
* [[New Sound Album]]: The albums following 69 Love Songs did away with signature synthesizers and ventured into various new styles, with mixed approval.
* [[Rhetorical Question Blunder]]: "Yeah! Oh, Yeah!"
* [[Shout -Out]]: "Suddenly There Is A Tidal Wave" says, "We must have been the butt of all the jokes in the world/For trying to live like [[Pippi Longstocking]]."
* [[Straight Gay]]: Stephin Merritt again.
* [[Triang Relations]]: Love triangles are a common feature, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwvMUy_0-Sk I'd Go Anywhere With Hugh] is a rare type two song.
