Basic Trope: Characters, places, and/or other things in a work have names derived from music.
- Straight: All the villains are named after bands. The Big Bad is only known as the Queen
. Her servants include Wings
, Duran Duran
, and the Three Dog Knight
.
- Exaggerated: Everything is named after a song. Alison
and The Pretender
stand alone against the Space Lord
, and are cornered by his servants Razor Face
and the Black Sheep
while trying to escape on the Last Train To Clarksville
.
- Downplayed: No musical references are used other than songs, bands, albums, or terms that make sense as normal names. You may see characters named Layla
, Mickey
, Gordon
, or even mean Mister Mustard
, or eat some meat loaf
in Allentown
, but things like T'Pau
or Nowhere Man
are unlikely to show up as names.
