** "The King of Villains/When I Said I Was Evil" is designed to be his ultimate villain song, sung from the perspective of a CardCarryingVillain who believes himself to be the wickedest in the land and aspires to be the king of villains, there is even a whole verse that almost nothing but Disney villain quotes and is in fact the trope's page quote.

Added DiffLines:

* ''The Last Halloween Party'' (2023)


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousEnding: "The Last Halloween Party." Do Gina and her dad die in the Martian/zombie apocalypse? Or do they (and possibly the other partygoers) survive to fight another day? The last lines cheekily imply that maybe the Martians aren't so bad, so it's possible our heroes have a chance after all.


Added DiffLines:

* ParentsAsPeople: Gina's dad in "The Last Halloween Party." He's old-fashioned, judgmental, and harsh, but when the shit hits the fan, he risks everything to reunite with Gina before the world ends. They reconcile and share a father-daughter dance at what may well be [[TitleDrop the last Halloween party]].

Aurelio Voltaire Hernández (born January 25, 1967) is a musician, animator, and comic book artist popular in the {{Goth}} scene and among {{Anime}} and ScienceFiction fans. Lately, he's been crossing over into SteamPunk. His most popular songs include: "BRAINS!" [[note]] Remember that episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' with the brain-eating meteor? Yeah, that was him. He also sang the opening theme "Land of the Dead" from the movie, ''Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure''.[[/note]] and "When You're Evil." Most of his songs poke fun at the UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity goth scene, and anything else he either loves (''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''Franchise/StarWars'') or hates (UsefulNotes/NewJersey).

* AllThereInTheManual: The album 'To the Bottom of the Sea' is intended to be a ConceptAlbum inspired by class disparity and the Bush Administration. The plot primarily takes place in 19th-century Eastern Europe in a country ruled by a ruthless dictator who is overthrown by the peasants and eventually falls into debauchery and war, leading the protagonist to prefer a life of piracy. While the loose narrative can be discerned from the album itself, the full details are found in [[https://youtu.be/ZWFALPfVmaI?si=D2ByIhmncHoxiKGq this]] video from Voltaire.

* LeastRhymableWord: A hilarious example from "Straight Razor Cabaret." On his Website/YouTube page, he said that "[[GlasgowGrin face raper]]" was the only thing he could think of that rhymed with "straight razor." When it was pointed out to him that the two phrases don't actually rhyme, he decided he didn't care.

Added DiffLines:

* OfficiallyShortenedTitle: "Death Death (Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil, Evil, Evil, Evil, Evil Song)" is so unwieldy that he usually abbreviates it to "Death Death Etc."
