Don't you wanna trope the beautiful game out in Brazil?

  • Album Title Drop: At the start of "Humongous", a recorded clip of Declan as a child asking "What do you think about the car?" can be heard.
  • Cover Version: Has covered "Slipping Through My Fingers". The cover for it is even based on the original version with the members of ABBA replaced with clones of Declan.
  • Face on the Cover: His face appears on the cover of "What Do You Think About The Car?".
  • Protest Song: A lot of his songs are these, notably "Brazil", which calls FIFA out for hosting the 2014 World Cup in Brazil without addressing the extensive and deep poverty affecting the people of the nation.
  • Questioning Title?: "What Do You Think About The Car?" and "What Happened To The Beach?".
  • Word Salad Lyrics: Isombard's lyrics are deliberately nonsensical, as it takes place from the perspective of a FOX News presenter trying to justify Police Brutality but keeps stumbling what he is trying to say.
