Go To

  • Played Straight: The Crazycoolz, a popular band, perform a concert, and only their song "Yes, We're Cool" is shown.
  • Exaggerated:
    • The Crazycoolz only perform that one song, then leave.
    • The Crazycoolz are a mega-popular group, yet have only ever written, recorded, and released that one song.
  • Downplayed: The Crazycoolz are a local bar-band that have a limited catalogue of original songs.
  • Justified:
    • It is their Signature Song and the concert is short.
    • They have only ever released one song because either it was their debut single, or they were a very short-lived band.
    • They are a One-Hit Wonder.
  • Enforced:
    • The creators were only bothered to write one song for the band.
  • Played for Laughs: Alice and Bob form The Crazycoolz as a dysfunctional high school band, record one song, get ridiculed, then break up.
  • Played for Drama: Bob is an idol on a televised contest reality show, and records one song to be performed on the show, however it turns out that he had plagiarized the song from another artist.
  • Subverted: The Crazycoolz are seen to only be playing one song, however they are later shown to be playing a different song.
  • Double Subverted: However, that song turns out to be a cover, therefore they still only have one song.
  • Parodied: The Crazycoolz release an album that is just that song repeated.
