* "God, Thank You Woman" seems like just another [[ClicheStorm generic]] heterosexual SillyLoveSong by a gay singer trying to [[HideYourGays hide his sexuality]]...until you learn that [[WordOfGod Boy George said]] that the song was written in honour of his mother. Suddenly, lines like "Just promise that you'll never leave" make a lot more sense...even if there ''is'' something slightly [[OedipusComplex Oedipal]] about singing "You're the air I breathe" about your own ''mum''.

* If you take the lyrics of "Mannequin" literally instead of writing them off as nonsense, it can be one of the best demonstrations of CreatingLifeIsAwesome. Who better to fall in love with ''[[PymagilionPlot than your own creation]]''?
