4	Peaches (born Merrill Beth Nisker, 11 November 1966) is a Canadian artist whose music is best described as pioneering electroclash, while taking some inspiration from hip-hop.
5
6	Gender identity and sexuality are common themes in Peaches' music, often playing with traditional notions of gender roles representation. Her lyrics and live shows consciously blur the distinction between male and female; for example, she appears on the cover of ''Fatherfucker'' with a full beard.
7
8	Nearly all of her songs are about IntercourseWithYou, and she isn't shy about being explicit about it. Luckily, their RefugeInAudacity means that listening to her doesn't get ''too'' uncomfortable, but you still wouldn't play a single one of her songs around your grandmother.
9
10	Her most well known songs include "Fuck the Pain Away", which was featured in ''Film/MyLittleEye'', ''Film/LostInTranslation'', ''Series/{{Jackass}} 2'', ''Film/DriveAngry'', ''Series/TheBoys'', [[WebVideo/RedLetterMedia Plinkett's]] review of ''Baby's Day Out'', everything from ''Film/LostInTranslation2003'' to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. "Boys Wanna Be Her", which you might know as the theme song for the late night satire ''Full Frontal with Samantha Bee''. Fans of ''Film/MeanGirls'' are probably very familiar with her song "Operate."

13	!!Discography:
14	* ''Fancypants Hoodlum'' (1995, as Merrill Nisker)
15	* ''The Teaches of Peaches'' (2000)
16	* ''Fatherfucker'' (2003)
17	* ''Impeach My Bush'' (2006)
18	* ''I Feel Cream'' (2009)
19	* ''Rub'' (2015)
20
21	!!Provides the following tropes:
22	* EightiesHair: She sports it occasionally.
23	* AlbumTitleDrop:
24	** ''The Teaches of Peaches'' is cribbed from a line in "Fuck the Pain Away".
25	** ''Impeach My Bush'' and "Fuck or Kill".
26	** "Shake Your Dix" for ''Fatherfucker''.
27	* BiggerIsBetterInBed: "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Tent in Your Pants]]".
28	* BrokenRecord: "Rock N' Roll," the title of which is repeated literally over a hundred times. Combine that with the fact that there's only one riff churning away the whole time, and this song could give Music/DaftPunk's "Robot Rock" a run for its money.
29	* TheCameo: She makes an appearance in episode 4.07 of ''Series/OrphanBlack'', performing at a bar.
30	* ClusterFBomb: "Fuck the Pain Away", "Fuck or Kill", and "I Don't Give a Fuck".
31	* DepravedBisexual: Men, women, it doesn't matter; Peaches is ''down.'' Spelled out in "I U She."
32	* DoubleEntendre: When she bothers with double entendres instead of single ones.
33	--> "'Cause I wanna take you downtown/Show you my thing..."
34	* GuyOnGuyIsHot: "Two Guys (For Every Girl)."
35	* ILoveTheDead: "Operate" is about Peaches turning a freshly-dead man into a FrankensteinsMonster-type hunk for her to fuck.
36	* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: '''''Loads''''' of them. Some examples include "Slippery Dick", "Diddle My Skittle", "Suck and Let Go", "Lovertits", "Stuff Me Up", "[[BiggerIsBetterInBed Tent in Your Pants]]" and of course, "Fuck the Pain Away". Not to mention album titles like ''Fatherfucker, Impeach My Bush'' and ''I Feel Cream.''
37	* IntercourseWithYou: Averted in "Fuck the Pain Away", lampshaded in "Back it Up" (''You know what I'm talking about, right? Because it can only be one thing, you know.''), and played straight in most of her songs. Lampshaded again in "Stick it to the Pimp" (You wanna stick it/I wanna stick it/I bet you thought I was gonna say in..but I'm not." From threesomes to going solo. She has two albums titled ''Impeach My Bush'' and ''I Feel Cream''.
38	* ProtestSong: "Fuck Or Kill" strips it down to the bare basics, Peaches style.[[note]]This was made during the height of the Bush presidency, which involved two Middle Eastern invasions.]]
39	-->''"I'D RATHER FUCK WHO I WANT, THAN KILL WHO I AM TOLD TO!!!"''
40	* RefugeInAudacity: Every lyric is laced with either {{Double Entendre}}s or just plain smut. Her body of work is just a monument of filth. It culminates into her stage show depicting herself as a weirdo Jesus Christ, complete with Crucifixion.
41	* TitleOnlyChorus:
42	** "Fuck The Pain Away". That causes, however, a ClusterFBomb (see above).
43	** "Keine Melodien".
44	* UnusualEuphemism: All over the place, ranging from the obvious ("pull back the curtains and feed the clam") to mockingly subverted ("Slippery Dick[[note]Yes, it's a fish.[[/note]]... it's just another fish in the Atlantic").
