 | These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items. | |
YMMV: Erasure
|
- Colbert Bump: "Always", thanks to Robot Unicorn Attack, has enjoyed a huge surge of downloads and views of the music video.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: That high note in "A Little Respect" is absolutely triumphant.
- Also, the opening track on I Say I Say I Say has an even higher note few women can even hit.
- Crowning Moment of Funny: The various Visual Puns in the video
 for "A Little Respect".
- Crowning Music of Awesome: AAAALLLWAYYYS, I WANNA BEEEE WITH YOU, AND MAKE BELIEEEEEVE WITH YOU, AND LIVE IN HARMONY HARMONY OH LOOOVE~
- Their ABBA covers are pretty awesome too. Specially their cover of Voulez Vous.
- Their early breakout hit, "Chains of Love", is pop perfection to this day.
- Ear Worm: Nearly all their songs.
- Face of the Band: Andy. His campness is more than enough for two people.
- Fan Nickname: Tracks with no vocals are known as "Vincestrumentals".
- Fan Yay: Vince is married to a woman, and Andy had a boyfriend of his own for the entire time the group existed. However, they've called each other their soulmates and have stated in interviews that they love each other.
- Memetic Mutation: "Always" has had a recent resurgence in popularity after being featured in the So Cool It's Awesome flash game Robot Unicorn Attack.
- Narm Charm: The music videos. They're almost always highly camp, but they do enhance the song in a way.
- Newer Than They Think: "Always" keeps getting referred to as an eighties song, when in reality it came out in 1994—and in a bizarre twist, the 2009 remix is the one used in Robot Unicorn Attack rather than the original.
- Signature Song: "A Little Respect" and, in Britain, "Sometimes".
- Tear Jerker: "Spiralling". The delivery, and especially the haunting bit at the end.
