Line 44:
* [[Album Title Drop]]: There is a title track (or a track whose name includes the album title) on most Thin Lizzy albums.
* [[All Drummers Are Animals]]: Averted: Downey was "the quiet one".
* [[Anti -Christmas Song]]: Phil Lynott got together with some ex-Sex Pistols and recorded a medly of Christmas tunes in a hard rocking style that comes off ''very'' ironic. Oh, and they were called "The Greedy Bastards".
* [[Audience Participation Song]]: The band were well known for this, and some songs were massively extended in concert for those call-and-response games. Other songs were written specifially for gigs and never recorded.
* [[Autobots Rock Out]]: "Emerald": the show piece is a "battle" between the lead guitarists.
Line 73:
* [[No Export for You]]: Every American tour they attempted was plagued by problems and usually cancelled, possibly contributing to their lack of worldwide success and probably the reason they are little known across the Atlantic.
* [[Obligatory Bondage Song]]: The rather dubious "S&M" from the "Black Rose" album.
* [[One -Hit Wonder]]: Annoyingly they are best known only for their two biggest hits, "The Boys Are Back In Town", and "Whiskey In The Jar" (which was later covered by [[Metallica (Music)|Metallica]]).
** They have many hits in the UK which still get airplay. In the UK, Metallica's version of "Whisky" is nowhere near as popular as the Lizzy version, due to Lizzy being able to be played on 'oldies' stations and Metallica being relegated to specialist metal stations.
* [[One -Woman Song]]: "Rosalie" (a Bob Seger song), "Sarah" (Lynott's grandmother) and "Sarah" (Lynott's daughter).
* [[Rockstar Song]]: apart from the satirical "The Rocker", there is also "Rocky".
** "The Boys Are Back In Town" definitely describes the rock star lifestyle.
