| 52 | !!Her career provides examples of: |
| 53 | * DefenestrateAndBerate: "Almost Over You" is about the singer expressing her heartbreak for her man who was "painting the town" (committing adultery). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugl3pd8LUhA&feature=youtu.be&t=78 The music video]] has her playing the piano while also featuring some video games of the time, such as ''VideoGame/{{Sinistar}}'' (prominently displayed), implying that her boyfriend is a gamer. The climax of the video has her throwing an ''arcade machine'' out of the balcony. |
| 54 | * GothicHorror: The music video for "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)" features a FrankensteinsMonster pretty clearly based off Creator/BorisKarloff, a {{Dracula}} recalling Creator/BelaLugosi, a [[HelpingHands floating hand]] and a [[TheIgor Igor]] as well as a couple of grave robbers. |
| 55 | * ICallHimMisterHappy: "Sugar Walls" may be more a description than a name, but that still applies as a euphemism for a vagina. |
| 56 | * LetsDuet: She's had a few with Music/{{Prince}}, most notably "The Arms of Orion" (on the [[Music/Batman1989 album]] of 1989's ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'') and an uncredited appearance on "U Got the Look" as well as "We've Got Tonight" with Kenny Rogers in 1983. |
| 57 | * TitleSequence: Not only did she sing the main theme of ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'', but she is also, so far, the only singer in the film series to have appeared in a Bond title sequence (Music/{{Madonna}} had a cameo in her own song's film, meanwhile). |
| 58 | * TitleThemeTune: "For Your Eyes Only" for the eponymous film. |
| 59 | * TrainSong: "Morning Train (9 to 5)", about a woman who waits at home all day for her man (a train operator/driver) to come home from work. |
| 60 | * TruckDriversGearChange: "When He Shines" goes from E A D then spikes up to a G right after the "this tempermental man plays me along" verse before ending up as it began. |
