Come to think of it, nothing rhymes in this song anyway. Might as well axe it.


* OverlyLongName; "Death Death (Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil, Evil, Evil, Evil, Evil Song)"

** Of course, [[CoveredUp he's not actually the person who wrote the song, though]].

He says 'Dubya's'. Which was Bush's Detractor Nickname.


*** Sort of. Along with "The World is Full of Hypocrites" and "The World is Full of Idiots", his "attack" is "The world is full of '''W's!'''"

*** Both songs are each basically a long ShoutOut and AffectionateParody of the New York City goth scene from start to finish, with tongue-in-cheek references to real people. And are thus {{Crowning Moments of Funny}} for those familiar with the scene.

* MisattributedSong: A lot of people think Voltaire made the song "If I Only Were a Goth", but the song was actually made by the band ThouShaltNot. Granted, the singer ''does'' sound similar.

***** It's ''all'' of those. He's telling the kid that the "monsters" in his dreams and imagination are nothing compared to him, if he can master his fear. By mastering his fear of the unknown as a child, he'll be able to face the monsters of the real world: other humans, dangerous in their own ways. In other words: don't be afraid of the monster under your bed, when the monster who would want to use and abuse you is much worse. Learn what you can from the beast you'll defeat, since it'll give you the confidence to succeed "out there".

** He's been debuting his 'country' songs on his current (summer 2010) tour and they don't sound too different from the stripped down arrangements of his normal songs, other than the lyrics not being about Goth culture and Star Trek... SoYeah.

**** Try Crowning Moment of Misinterpretation. The last line conveys an entirely different meaning to the song; the world's a lot worse than a kid might think it is. Instead of being told that there are no (problems/monsters) in their (room/world), they're told to fight them. It's about standing up for yourself.

{{Voltaire}} is a musician, animator and comic book artist popular in the goth scene and among anime and sci-fi fans. His most popular songs include "Brains" (Remember that episode of ''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' with the brain-eating alien? Yeah, that was him.) and "When You're Evil". Most of his songs poke fun at the NewYorkCity goth scene, and anything else he either loves (''StarTrek'' & ''StarWars'') or hates (New Jersey).

It's [[FrancoisMarieArouet also the name]] of one of history's most celebrated essayist, philosopher and writers. But who cares about that? [[spoiler:He does.]]

*** Easing the kid's fears? Crowning Moment of Understatement. He flat-out tells the kid that the most dangerous thing in that bedroom is the kid, so anything that knows what's good for it is going to keep well away, and everything else is going to eat it's own butt for dinner.
