1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** That high note in "A Little Respect" (on "to-oo ''meeeeeee''") is ''absolutely triumphant''.
3	** The opening track on ''I Say I Say I Say'', "Take Me Back", has an even higher note few ''women'' can even hit.
4	** [[VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack AAAALLLWAYYYS, I WANNA BEEEE WITH YOU, AND MAKE BELIEEEEEVE WITH YOU, AND LIVE IN HARMONY HARMONY OH LOOOVE~]]
5	** Their Music/{{ABBA}} covers are pretty awesome too. Specially their cover of "Voulez Vous".
6	** The likes of Sometimes, Stop! and their US breakout hit "Chains of Love" are pop perfection to this day.
7	* FanNickname: Tracks with no vocals are known as [[{{Pun}} "Vincestrumentals"]].
8	* FriendlyFandoms: With Music/PetShopBoys, due to a similar SynthPop style, as well as both bands having openly gay frontmen.
9	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The various {{visual pun}}s in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiKVjS3gR88 video]] for "A Little Respect".
10	* HoYay: Vince is married to a woman, and Andy had a boyfriend of his own for the entire time the group existed. However, they've called each other their soulmates and have stated in interviews that they love each other.
11	* LGBTFanbase: A SynthPop band with an openly gay singer, it was inevitable.
12	* MemeticMutation: "Always" had a recent resurgence in popularity in the early 2010s after being featured in the Flash game ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack''; likewise, the ''WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}'' with "Chains of Love".
13	* NewerThanTheyThink: "Always" keeps getting referred to in some quarters as an [[TheEighties Eighties]] song, when in reality it came out in 1994 -- and in a bizarre twist, the 2009 remix is the one used in ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack'' rather than the original.
14	* SignatureSong: "Sometimes", "A Little Respect", "Stop!", "Always".
15	** Largely due to its inclusion in ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack'', "Always" stands as the band's best-known song among a certain demographic in the 21st century. "Chains of Love" also comes in at a close second thanks to its repeated use by WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} to mess with automated content claims on [=YouTube=].
16	* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Wonderland'' was this to Yazoo, with Andy imitating Alison Moyet's style on some of the album tracks.
17	* TearJerker:
18	** "Spiralling". The delivery, and especially the haunting bit at the end.
19	%%** "Am I right", too.
20	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Overwhelming fan reaction to ''Loveboat'' -- the critics, however, disagreed.
