* RunningGag: The Jackalope, as mentioned above, repeatedly makes appearances in music videos, and serves as their cover art on their tracks.

** "The Rabbit" has a 30's-esque cartoon at the start that shows a Jackalope on the TV.

Miike Snow ["Mike Snow"] is a Swedish indie pop band founded in 2007, in Stockholm, Sweden. The band consists of Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson and Pontus "Avant" Winnberg ("Bloodshy & Avant") and American singer Andrew Wyatt. The band has released three studio albums over the course of their career (see their discography below).

The band is prone for having their tracks [[RearrangeTheSong remixed by other artists]], ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niKT-kJfUz4 "Animal"]], for example, has about four separate officially endorsed remixes).

In 2011, the Album "Miike Snow" won a European Border Breakers Award for their international success.

Their Youtube channel featuring all of their songs, as well as their officially endorsed remixes, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MiikeSnow/videos can be viewed here.]] They are also on Spotify, and [[https://open.spotify.com/artist/4l1cKWYW591xnwEGxpUg3J can be listened to here]].

!!These tropes change shapes, but they are still just tropes:
* AnimalMotifs: The band, as well as the album art on their songs, is usually represented by a silhouetted image of a jackalope. One of the recurring themes in the music is animals; "Animal" is all about base animal instincts and filling unrequited love in various ways, with the Jackalope featuring very heavily in their music video for the song.
* EclipsedByTheRemix: Provides the music for ''Series/FridayNightDinner'', or rather the "Punks Jump Up" variant does.
* LyricalDissonance:
** The music videos very rarely make any sense compared to the song itself "My Trigger" and "Animal" comes to mind. The former is about two factions wanting to push the button to start as nuclear war, the latter is just jackalope imagery with the band wearing animal masks on occasion, despite both songs being love-themed.
** Inverted with "Devils Work" which is at least tangentially related, as a man in leather and PVC pants runs down a desert road, while a song about a man going after their former lover plays in the background.
* MindScrew: The doves at the end of "My Trigger" which just comes out of nowhere.
* RunningGag: The Jackalope, as mentioned above, repeatedly makes appearances in music videos, and serves as their cover art on their tracks.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: You'd expect the music video for "I Feel The Weight" to follow this bands' crazy music video standards, but nope. It's a video timelapse of a sculptor making a Jackalope, which seems comparatively mundane and very out of place.
