** "The Wild Sea!" from ''Myths, Legends, and Other Amazing Adventures'' ends with an extended period of silence, then a conversation between Danger Woman and MC Bat Commander.

* MoodWhiplash: ''The Aquabats vs. the Floating Eye of Death!'' is full of this. Dark and serious songs like "[[TimeCrash Sequence Erase!]]", "Monster Wedding!", and "[[LyricalDissonance Chemical Bomb!]]" and the thoughtful and slow-tempoed "Hello, Good Night" definitely stand out from songs like "Giant Robot-Birdhead!", "Lovers of Loving Love!", and "Tiny Pants!".

** "Giant Robot-Birdhead!" features the line [[Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}} "Don't cross the streams."]]

** "Radiation Song!" contains references to ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior'' (including Humongous as a vaudeville M.C.)

* TookALevelInBadass: The band seems to have done this, in song. Compare "The Aquabat March!," where apparently there aren't quite so bulletproof, and so beg any villains with guns not to shoot them, to the rather more boastful "Awesome Forces!".

* AnimatedAdaptation: As part of ''Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow'', featuring standalone shorts featuring their Lil' Bat mascot, Pablo, and episodic shorts with the Aquabats animated like out of an old-school anime (featuring character designs from long-time fan, Pey)

The Aquabats! (and yes, [[InsistentTerminology the exclamation mark is necessary]]) are an American comedy rock band formed in Orange County, California in 1994. The band started out as an eight-or-nine-piece {{ska}} band before shifting their sound towards a more New Wave-influenced style of rock and punk in the early 2000s.

The most distinctive - and most {{Troperiffic}} - aspect of The Aquabats! is their prominent superhero theme. The band bills themselves as a ragtag group of superhero rock musicians, traveling the world on a quest to fight evil and rock out in equal proportion. Many of The Aquabats' songs revolve around this theme, featuring lyrics detailing the band's adventures and battles with their RoguesGallery of villains, as well as their theatrical stage shows which include comic skits and fight scenes with costumed villains and monsters.

Also notable is the fact that Christian Jacobs, the MC Bat Commander, is the co-creator, writer and voice actor of the children's show ''Series/YoGabbaGabba''.

* ArtifactTitle: Originally the band were supposedly humanoid, aquatic bat creatures from the island of Aquabania. That has since been almost completely fazed out of their mythos, leaving their name unique, but somewhat of a mystery.

* GenreRoulette: InUniverse, the movie (movies?) that the guy from "Stuck in a Movie!" is stuck in. He describes a mish-mash of action, horror, and fantasy, but none of the pieces seem to be connected to each other; it's more of a montage.

* HeroesLoveDogs: "Canis Lupus!" is one long love-letter to dogs.
