* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Both Mercyful Fate and King Diamond songs usually deal with horrors, occult or witchcraft. However the first release by King Diamond was the single "No Presents for Christmas". While not any different musically from other songs, the lyrics say that Santa couldn't find his silver sheet, so there would be no presents on Christmas. It also almost randomly mentions WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck.
