9 | !!This band and their songs provide examples of: |
10 | |
11 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The song 'Too Damn Rock and Roll' plays with this. The girl may want him, but she won't follow through. |
12 | ** Some fans have humorously theorized that the man is supposed to be Neil. |
13 | * AllGuysWantCheerleaders: The song 'Pig Tails' is about one of these guys. [[TearJerker After the relationship ended.]] . |
14 | * BeautyIsBad: The man described in 'Too Damn Rock and Roll'. |
15 | --> They say that he ain't got a soul/He'll make your knees lose full control... |
16 | * CruelCheerleader: The guy in 'Pig Tails' realizes his girlfriend is a mean cheerleader. He notes that she 'used to be sweeter', indicating that she may have been nicer before. It's [[TearJerker surprisingly sad]]. |
17 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Done on purpose. Never has art class been so...charged. |
18 | * DoubleEntendre: Oh, so many. |
19 | * HighSchoolSweethearts: Some of their songs revolve around this, though the degree of affection varies. |
20 | * HurricaneOfPuns: The song 'Yeast Infection'. |
21 | * LampshadedDoubleEntendre: The song 'Yeast Infection' is full of bread-related puns, but they also relate to money. [[strike: And sex]]. |
22 | ** As does 'Bunsen Burner Baby Blues', in relation to science. |
23 | ** And 'Masterpiece' in relation to art. Come to think of it, most of their songs are like this. |
24 | ** The unreleased song '[[http://cheerupcharliedaniels.bandcamp.com/track/marching-band-romance Marching Band Romance]]' doesn't even ''try'' to hide it. |
25 | ---> That's not a drumstick in my pants... |
26 | * LyricalDissonance: The demo of 'Ice Cold Razor Blades' sounds like a happy, upbeat song one might hear at a spa. It's about a woman getting her throat slit. |
27 | * MoodWhiplash: Going from this to Neil's [[Music/AdamAndTheCouchPotatoes other]] [[Music/TheProtomen bands]] can be quite the switch. |
28 | * Music/TheProtomen: Neil O'Neil voices Dr. Wily. Recently, Luke became one of their guitarists. |
29 | * {{Pun}}s: 'Yeast Infection' has quite a few, all relating to bread. (And money.) |
30 | --> I don't make enough bread to keep you satisfied/ Dough is all I'm kneading to get a slice of your high.. |
31 | * ShowdownAtHighNoon: Panther, of Music/TheProtomen, did a promotional song, ''The Duel'', about the band facing off against a similarly-named group for rights to the name. There can only be one victor. |
32 | ** ForegoneConclusion: Cheer Up Charlie Daniels won. |
33 | *** The song has gotten a sequel, ''The Duel: Part 2'', detailing the band's faceoff at the Road to Bonnaroo on May 17. [[spoiler: They got second place.]] |
34 | *** In 2011, the band came back to Bonnaroo for a rematch. And won. |
35 | * SmokingIsCool: Subverted; the song 'No More Nicotine' details how they're much better off not smoking. |
36 | * VisualPun: Some of the puns in 'Yeast Infection' are only recognizable as such when you see them. |
37 | * TheWestern: Both parts of ''The Duel'' are this. |
38 | ** Part 2 even more so now that the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Ht8NU5oJ0&playnext_from=TL&videos=5JpZ4_TCIuQ music video]] is out. |
