* CreatorsCultureCarryover: The music video of "Rotta Per Casa di Dio" is clearly set in the US and shows the adventures of four American guys. But the lyrics of the song mention them eating Camogli sandwiches, which are only eaten in Italian autogrills (roadside restaurants).

* DrivingSong: There are several songs about driving and road trips, such as "Con un Deca", "Nord Sud Ovest Est", "Rotta Per Casa di Dio", "Come Deve Andare", "Quello che Capita", "Viaggio al Centro del Mondo", and others. Many of them are just used metaphorically to talk about life.

* GoshDangItToHeck: Averted with "Rotta Per Casa Di Dio" and some other 883 songs, which sprinkles various swear words through their verses.

In 1995, Repetto left the band to pursue an unsuccessful career in film. Afterwards, he was replaced by several other artists, including future Italian music duo Paola and Chiara. 883 continued touring and releasing albums like "La donna il sogno & il grande incubo" ("The woman, the dream and the great nightmare") and "La Dura Leggere del Goal" ("The Hard Law of the Goal"), until they disbanded in 2003.

Though they're utterly unknown outside of Italy, 883 has become synonymous with [[The90s 90's]] Italian nostalgia, with the band's heyday being the teen/tween years of Italy's millenials. Much of their songs relate to everyday lives of provincial Italians, especially young people in the outskirts of northern Italy. From messing up party plans with best friends ("Rotta per Casa di Dio") and finding pleasure in miserable hometowns ("Weekend", "Tieni Il Tempo" and "Con Un Deca"), to glorious and nightmarish one night stands ("Sei Un Mito" and "Il Grande Incubo"), dwelling on lost love ("Nessun Rimpianto"), and dealing with the disappointments of growing up ("Come Deve Andare" and "Gli Anni"). Oh, and don't forget [[Music/LaReginaDelCelebrita having boyhood crushes on female dancers in a nightclub ("La Regina Del’ Celebrità")]].

-> ''Gli Anni di "che bella erano i film", (The years of "How great were the movies?")''

Their first album and its big single, "Hanno Ucciso L'Uomo Ragno" ("They Killed the [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spider-Man]]". Yes, ''really.''), was released in 1992. According to Pezzali, its central song was about the murder of childhood innocence by an adult world, with [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spider-Man]] being the symbol of childhood, while its chorus points fingers at adult institutions like the Mafia, the Advertising Business and the Coffee Industry.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Una Canzone D'Amore" (which literally means "A Love Song") is... a love song. The lyrics are about the singer's inability to write a love song because he can't find the words to express his feelings.
