- Nightmare Fuel: "Netti Fritti" off of OK Calculator sounds like a weird unhinged song in a foreign language and is actually kind of funny until the translation, where you find out it's about necrophilia, murder, and cannibalism among other things... In-universe anyway- the interpretation and backstory stated by the radio DJ at the end of the song is entirely fictional and the lyrics mostly seem to be Italian-sounding gibberish.
- Signature Song: "Wolf Like Me" (due in part to it being featured in several video games); "DLZ" (after being featured in Breaking Bad).
- TearJerker: "Family Tree" and "Killer Crane" are the first to come to mind.
- The latter even more so following the death of Gerard Smith. Especially when accompanied by the video. It's almost as if they made it as a tribute to him, knowing how ill he was.
