* "Kaulana Nā Pua" sounds like a sweet romantic song, except that the lyrics are protesting the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and its subsequent annexation by the United States. On the Mākaha Sons album ''Nā Pua o Hawaiʻi'', the dissonance is reinforced by all the other songs generally being about romance or nature's beauty (notwithstanding deeper metaphors).

** ''Cable TV'' is an peppy upbeat song about a guy who is borderline suicidal and obsessively watches television to fill the void in his life, much to the concern of his friends.

** "Nunca quedas mal con nadie", an upbeat ska-like song about supposedly progressive singers that sell themselves to the mainstream (apparently inspired by a specific Chilean singer of TheEighties, but don't ask whom).

* "Embarrassment" from Music/{{Madness|Band}}'s ''Music/{{Absolutely}}'' is made of this trope. An upbeat, cheery tune alongside a dark and depressing story about a girl being disowned by her racist family for having a baby with a black man. Even worse, it's based on a true story.

* "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" sounds incredibly depressing and ominous for a song about the cheerful celebration of returning soldier. This may have something to do with how the song's tune originally came from the Irish ballad "Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye", which tells the story of the return of a horribly maimed soldier to his family and love. He's so badly injured they hardly recognise him, and he won't be able to work. "You've lost an arm, you've lost a leg / You'll have to be put with a bowl out to beg." Another version goes, "You haven't an arm, you haven't a leg / You're an eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg / You'll have to be put in a bowl to beg."

* I-Wayne's ''Can't Satisfy Her''. At first, it seems like a nice song to dance to, until you sit down and contemplate the lyrics, realizing it's about CSA victim turned prostitute in what're likely the final throes of her long ruined life. And then it just gets depressing.
