3	Pig with the Face of a Boy is the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative "world's best neo-post-post-music hall anti-folk band"]]. They compose music with off-the-wall, and occasionally off-color lyrics.

7	In 2010, they formed a Website/YouTube page, on which they posted their first music video: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWTFG3J1CP8 "Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris."]] Entertaining AND educational!

12	!!Please don't tread on my TV Tropes!

14	* AdolfHitlarious: In "Hitler’s Favourite Song (Please Don’t Tread on My Cheeseburger)" he sings about how his only friends are a cheeseburger and a Venus Fly Trap while begging someone to not "tread" on them before rambling about his other ridiculous antics.
15	* CompanionCube: Hitler's Favorite Song (Please Don't Tread On My Cheeseburger). UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler [[ItMakesSenseInContext sings about how a cheeseburger and a venus flytrap are his only friends in the world.]]
16	* LyricalDissonance: The beginnings of a lot of their songs from ''La La Ha Ha''. Especially ''My Darling'', which is about the persona taking his love to a cock fight, ''The Midwife'', which is about a psychopath who eats human placentas,and the beginning of ''The Lonely Shepherd'', which is about a shepherd wanting to have sex with a sheep, and even ''Hitler's Favourite Song (Please Don't Tread On My Cheeseburger)'' at some point.
17	** "Please don't tread on my cheeseburger or I'd have to cut your head off with a blunt chainsaw."
18	* {{Pun}}: "I am the man who arranges the blocks/blocs."
19	* PunWithPi: This band has a 2-part song called "Pi and Mash" in which the numbers of Pi are recited, and then a song is sung about mash (described as "the perfect thing to go with Pi").
20	* RidingTheBomb: In ''The Complete History of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris'' music video, there is a scene when the singer rides a Tetris long block shaped atomic bomb which is just dropped by a Soviet bomber.
21	* StepfordSmiler: Our humble worker and his comrades in the ''Complete History'' wear troublingly forced grins as they march in lockstep praising UsefulNotes/JosefStalin, [[HappinessIsMandatory the reasons for their doing so are obvious]].
22	--> Long live Stalin, he loves you/Sing these words, or ''' [[FateWorseThanDeath you know what he'll do!]]'''
23	* TakeThat:
24	** "The Complete History of the Soviet Union, Arranged to the Melody of Tetris" is an AuthorTract against [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Russian politics]] through a long and elaborate ''Tetris''-themed metaphor, stating that the country is a [[CrapsackWorld bleak and absurd place]] from the end of [[UsefulNotes/TsaristRussia the czarist era]] through [[UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia the post-communist era]] in which none of the revolutions or political change actually brought any real ameliorations to the Russian inhabitants' conditions of life and work. There are brief snipes at foreign influence on the country after the fall of communism ("when in Red Square, well don’t despair / [[SarcasmMode there’s Levi’s and [=McDonald’=]s there]]", and "the US [[DrugsAreBad gave us crystal meth]]"). Even UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin doesn't seem to have really changed anything with the "happy" Russia portrayed in the ending as [[HereWeGoAgain the man resigns himself to arranging the blocks forever]]. One line can even be interpreted as a snipe against both life in the Soviet Union ''and the Tetris game itself'':
25	---> What’s the point of it all, when you’re building a wall.\
26	And in front of your eyes it disappears?\
27	Pointless work for pointless pay.\
28	This is one game I shall not play.
29	** "One Night on Westminster Bridge" has the narrator trying to talk down a suicidal UsefulNotes/DavidCameron, all while noting his failures as Prime Minister, saying there's plenty of other people he can blame.
30	* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: "One Night on Westminster Bridge" has the narrator meet a suicidal UsefulNotes/DavidCameron and tries to talk him down.
31	* WordSaladLyrics: ”Hitler’s Favourite Song (Please Don’t Tread on My Cheeseburger)” Hitler talks about his other random, yet zany antics in between his story about his friend cheeseburger and Venus Fly Trap.
