* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Romance ''very'' rarely works out in the group's favour. Either relationships will go sour("Otha Fish"), end up friend zoned ("She Said"), or the women they like [[AllLoveIsUnrequited simply don't return their feelings]] ("Passin' Me By"). And sometimes, it can be some combination of the three, plus the issues of having one-night stands with groupies and [[GoldDigger gold diggers]] ("Groupie Therapy").

Thus, we see the band members spring to their feet from a lying position, rolling up stairs, repelling a bucket full of water upwards, and near the end, instantly piecing together a mural painted on glass with a hammer before wiping the paint off with paintbrushes.
