The Team Cleanup: ZCE, Real People


* TheTeam: They all had fairly well-defined personalities. Stewart was TheLeader, Wood was TheLancer, [=McLagan=] was TheSmartGuy, Lane was the WarriorPoet, and Jones was the CulturedBadass (into polo, even).

Trope cut per TRS.


* WeUsedToBeFriends: The band's breakup was rooted in tension between Rod Stewart and Ronnie Lane. As Stewart's solo career took off, he became TheFaceOfTheBand, but also paradoxically started devoting less time to it. He's completely absent from a few of the songs on what would be their last studio album, ''Ooh La La''. This led Lane to feel like he was being pushed to the sidelines, and he quit in 1973. However, Stewart helped pay for Lane's multiple sclerosis treatments in his final years, and did a solo cover of "Ooh La La" as a tribute to Lane after his death.

Long Title is a disambig.


* LongTitle:
** ''A Nod is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse'', taken from a favorite saying of Ron Wood's father.
** "You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything (Even Take the Dog for a Walk, Mend a Fuse, Fold Away the Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings)". Still the longest song title for a UK chart single.

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: "Just Another Honky", a weird invocation of JiveTurkey slang for the NonAppearingTitle of a bittersweet BreakupSong.

Added DiffLines:

* InTheStyleOf: "Pool Hall Richard", their first single after Ronnie Lane's departure, takes a lot of musical cues from Music/CreedenceClearwaterRevival.

Is now YMMV, so moving to that page


* RefrainFromAssuming: Some people think that the song "Ooh La La" is called "I Wish That I Knew What I Know Now", which is the first and third line of the chorus. The title does appear in the song, but it is not as prominent a lyric.
