* CanadaEh: largely averted, though they did do a couple of songs in French.

-->--''King of Spain''

And now I'm jamming with Moxy Früvous! ''(once he was the King of Spain!)"''

->Once I was the King of Spain ''(now I eat humble pie)''\\
I was looking for off-handed ways to improve us ''(now I eat humble pie)''\\
I'm telling you, I was the King of Spain ''(now I eat humble pie)''\\
And now I'm jamming with Moxy Früvous! ''(once he was the King of Spain!)''

** One of the few changed lines in their cover of TheyMightBeGiants' "Shoehorn With Teeth" stated "People should be beat up for [[UsefulNotes/IceHockey skating like the Leafs]]."

Moxy Früvous disbanded in 2001. Jian became the host of the arts and entertainment news radio show, ''Q'', on the Creator/{{CBC}} Radio One national public radio network until October 2014, while Murray has become a supporting member of Music/GreatBigSea. He and Mike have also formed a BritishInvasion-style band, "The Cocksure Lads," and appear live as the band on occasion.

Any previous hopes for a full Früvous reunion have likely been dashed following recent allegations and criminal charges of violence brought against Jian Ghomeshi, which also led to his dismissal from the CBC.

Riding the wave of Canada's alternative music craze started by the BarenakedLadies, Moxy Früvous went out to have a successful career of its own. The single band they sound most like, though, is probably Music/TheBeatles, even down to a middle-eastern slant in some of their songs.

* StudioChatter: "Live Noise" contains a fair bit of it, having been pieced together out of concerts in four different New England cities. Examples include an improvised EDM number, an absurdist discussion of the Kasparov vs. Deep Blue {{chess}} match, and Jian telling the crowd how happy they are to be back in Pittsburgh... [[EpicFail in Philadelphia]].

* VocalTagTeam: All four members are singers, and some of their most popular numbers are pure ''[{a cappella}}''.

A folk/pop group of the '90s and change, Moxy [[HeavyMetalUmlaut Früvous]] (commonly spelled Moxy Fruvous, Moxy Fru Vous, Moxy Frü Vous, or any of a dozen other variations) was formed in Toronto, Canada by musicians Jian Ghomeshi, Murray Foster, Mike Ford, and David Matheson. The band was characterized by a clever, occasionally biting wit, lush vocal harmonies, a wide variety of instruments, and a liberal political slant.

A Canadian folk/pop group of the '90s and change, Moxy [[HeavyMetalUmlaut Früvous]] (commonly spelled Moxy Fruvous, Moxy Fru Vous, Moxy Frü Vous, or any of a dozen other variations) was formed of musicians Jian (or Jean) Ghomeshi, Murray Foster, Mike Ford, and David Matheson.

* OdeToSobriety: ''The Drinking Song,'' at the end.
* PrinceAndPauper: The story of ''King of Spain'' - and name-checked in the same song.

* AntiDrinkingSong: ''The Drinking Song,'' appropriately enough.
