YMMV / Electric Six

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
  • The outro of "Improper Dancing" getting interrupted with, STOP! (beat) CONTINUE!
  • The falling xylophone for one brief pre-chorus bar in "(Who The Hell Just) Call My Phone".
  • Both "Pleasing Interlude"s on Senor Smoke, for how little context is given for either of them.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Though they've grown more popular in their home-country since then, the band was originally poorly-known in America but a huge hit in Britain.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • "When Cowboys File For Divorce" came two years before the meme-spawning song "Big Enough" by Kirin J. Callinan. Both are songs about cowboys marked with over-the-top screaming (though it happens at the start of the song in Electric Six's case.) It also happens to be about the opposite subject: two cowboys separating instead of coming together.
  • If one interprets "Big Enough" as a love story between the two cowboys, then the song reads like a misplaced sequel where it didn't work out between them and now they're getting a divorce.
• Misaimed Fandom: Fans can take their jokey machismo a bit too seriously.
• Narm Charm: SOLO!
• Signature Song: Except for their relatively small dedicated fanbase, everyone remembers either "Gay Bar" or "Danger! High Voltage!," but nothing else. Some people also remember "Dance Commander" and their cover version of Queen's "Radio Gaga", which were popular in the UK though not as big as the other two songs mentioned. The good news is, their signature songs ensure that they can always tour the UK and get people interested in hearing them.
• Squick:
  • The bude grandma and fat, sweaty topless men in the "Body Shot" music video.
  • "Infected Girls," which is about having sex with STD-infected girls, because who needs protection when you're already infected?
  • "Showtime" is probably a subversion, depending on interpretation and taste in condiments. At the end of the song, there is a quiet, wet squelching sound. Out of context, it's unexpected, but it makes sense when you consider all the times Dick Valentine has said, "put a little mustard on it".
• So Bad, It's Good: Much of their lyrics.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Believe it or not, "Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart" or "Steal Your Bones".
  • "Cheryl vs. Darryl", an unsettling Downer Ending to Mustang about an acting couple whose relationship is put on shaky ground after being cast in a rape scene.
