A third album titled ''emulat0r'' was put together in the time span of 3 weeks in September 2017 after they asked in a Facebook post what covers fans would like to see them perform. Turns out they were really into the idea of a CoverAlbum of tracks like "[[Music/AFlockOfSeagulls I Ran]]", "[[Music/{{Eurythmics}} Sweet Dreams (are Made of This)]]", and "[[Music/FlightOfTheConchords Fasion is Danger]]".

* TheVoiceless: Kandi provides backing vocals and harmonies for the songs, but doesn't take the lead in any of them. She is either silent or absent in non-song contexts, such as the Kickstarter pitch video and the Weebl's Stuff interview of Roscoe and Evangeline.
** Prior to the RED album, Kandi's backing vocals were done purely by pitch changing Evangeline's, so she was literally TheVoiceless.
** In "Hi-Lights", the second single of the Neon album, she does the lead vocals.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: "Spelunker" uses the whole idea of exploring a cave as a metaphor for trying to understand a romantic partner more deeply. About halfway through the song, Roscoe points out how badly the idea is being stretched.

By TRS decision Whip It Good is now a disambiguation page. Moving entries to appropriate tropes when possible.


* InstrumentOfMurder: In "Broken", the band members use weaponized versions of their instruments to destroy the stage. Evangeline's keytar is also a {{BFG}}, and Roscoe's microphone doubles as an [[LightningLash electric]] [[WhipItGood whip]] and [[LaserBlade laser blade knife]]. Kandi, on the other hand, seems to cause the most destruction simply by [[ThePowerOfRock drumming with]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness both hands.]]

Badass Beard and Badass Mustache are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed.


* BadassMustache: Roscoe's mustache, which is a reference to [[Music/{{Sparks}} Ron Mael]]'s. That said, since Mael is somewhat obscure, most people don't get the reference... instead, on any Savlonic Website/YouTube video, half the comments are along the lines of "I didn't know UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler could sing so well." Lampshaded in the [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/articles/799/savlonic-interview interview]]. Luckily, the other half refers to Creator/CharlieChaplin.
** That said, with every new music video, his hairdo and moustache look [[ArtEvolution less and less like Hitler's]].
