1 | * "First of May," [[IntercourseWithYou although]] [[RefugeInAudacity hilarious]], is also a genuinely hopeful, sunshiney song. It ''is'' kind of about new starts and people sharing beautiful days together... by having a whole lot of sex in the outdoors. |
2 | * Given the general reaction to Creator/TomCruise as a person these days, "Tom Cruise Crazy" is remarkably touching. |
3 | * "You Ruined Everything," which, despite the bitter-sounding title, was written for Coulton's daughter, and is about becoming a first-time parent and all the apprehension--and love--that comes with it. |
4 | --> You ruined everything in the nicest way. |
5 | * "I'm Your Moon". For those who haven't heard the song, it is basically about Charon comforting Pluto about being demoted to a dwarf planet and saying that even though the world may think Pluto is not special, Charon thinks that Pluto is indeed special and it matters to it. |
6 | * "My Beige Bear," a song about a [[SecurityBlanket dearly beloved teddy bear]] and all the other toys in his world. It's pure childlike sweetness. Especially with regards to the song's "antagonist," Indigo Monkey. |
7 | --> Beige Bear says that some monkeys might just be lonely\ |
8 | Beige Bear says that no monkey wants to be bad\ |
9 | Beige Bear thinks that some monkeys misbehave only\ |
10 | Because they're sad... |
11 | * While the song "Good Morning Tucson" is about a newscaster who either causes the apocalypse or goes mad, the video is a light-hearted edit of Coulton's family vacation clips. And has nothing to do with the song. |
12 | * "The Princess Who Saved Herself," while silly, is pure SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel. |
13 | * "You Wouldn't Know," where [[spoiler: [=GLaDOS=]]] refers to [[spoiler: [[{{VideoGame/LEGODimensions}} Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle]]]] as her friends. |
14 | * "My Monkey" is a slice-of-life love song about stress, anger, and forgiveness in an apparently [[HappilyMarried happily together]] couple, told from the man's perspective. The really cute part is that each line begins with "My monkey," as though the speaker is saying everything through a InhibitionDestroyingPuppet. |
15 | * "Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance" has a twofer: |
16 | ** It's a silly song about the fictional secret club-going life of newscaster Soterios Johnson, but beneath that, it's a song about putting all of your passion into something you love doing, even if nobody else understands it. |
17 | ** In the final verse, when he's about to leave the club to go back to his ordinary newscaster life, fellow newscaster Terry Gross stops him, and they share a dance as everyone cheers them on. |
