* "Ricky's Hand" by Fad Gadget starts out just describing a man named Ricky going out for a night of drinking; there's a strange focus on what his hand is doing throughout, almost as though the hand was a separate entity of its own. Then Ricky gets behind the wheel - the DarkComedy punchline is that while we don't learn what happened to the rest of him, Ricky's severed hand is found by the side of the road.

* Surprisingly, considering how famous he is for his massive drug usage, Music/OzzyOsbourne has such a song. "Suicide Solution" was inspired by the alcohol-related death of Music/{{ACDC}}'s Bon Scott, and describes alcoholism as basically a slow suicide method (hence the title, which uses "solution" in the sense of "a fluid in which another substance is dissolved", referring to liquor).

%%* * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeYsTmIzjkw "Because I Got High"]] by Afroman.Music/{{Afroman}} is a tongue-in-cheek song about a man whose excessive usage of marijuana ruins his life, starting with him having a messy room and failing his classes, up to getting into a car crash that leaves him paralyzed, and he ends up alone after he's alienated all his loved ones. What makes this a parody rather than a straight example is that Afroman himself is a huge stoner and an advocate for marijuana legalization. In fact, the song's intro has Afroman rolling a blunt. Afroman would later release a "Positive Remix", which inverts the song into saying DrugsAreGood.

The "DrugsAreBad" Ode to Sobriety is usually engaged in by UsefulNotes/StraightEdge bands or artists, though others can occasionally do it (a common instance with non UsefulNotes/StraightEdge artists is generally focused on a specific substance). As opposed to the ambivalent, bitter reflections of the Deconstructed OdeToIntoxication, it is simply DrugsAreBad as a song. It's a condemnation/callout of a specific substance and/or its users, and/or of alcohol or other drug use in general.

The "Deconstructed OdeToIntoxication" Ode to Sobriety would be an OdeToIntoxication except the song is about the singer's (or writer's) near-death from an OD, an addiction he or she actually wants to escape or has gone into treatment for, someone's suicide from alcohol and/or drugs, (on the lighter side) how embarrassing people act while drunk, or about anything else that is on the less fun side of intoxication.

The "DrugsAreBad" Ode to Sobriety is usually engaged in by UsefulNotes/StraightEdge bands or artists, though others can occasionally do it (a common instance with non UsefulNotes/StraightEdge artists is generally focused on a specific substance). As opposed to the ambivalent, bitter reflections of the Deconstructed OdeToIntoxication, it is simply DrugsAreBad as a song. It's a condemnation/callout of a specific substance and/or its users, and/or of alcohol or drug use in general.

The "Glad to Be Sober" Ode to Sobriety results from an artist successfully overcoming an addiction or quitting an abusive pattern of alcohol or drug use -- and writing a song about how good being sober and free of said addiction is. It differs from the bitter Deconstructed OdeToIntoxication in that it's a LighterAndSofter topic (e.g. happiness about a drug-free life) as opposed to a GrimDark one (e.g. about almost dying from an OD) and from the DrugsAreBad song in that it's not a rant about how bad drugs are.
