* TakeThat: Averted. A lot people assume "Goodbye Mr. A" is meant to be a TakeThat against the objectivist superhero comic ''ComicBook/MrA''. In reality, the song is in reference to an English teacher Irwin Sparkes had who insisted on being called "Mr. A". The superhero theme of the music video probably doesn't help (despite the video's version of Mister A looking nothing like the comic character).

* FakeUltimateHero: "Goodbye Mr. A" features The Hoosiers as a team of up-and-coming superheroes that had captured veteran superhero Mr. A and tied him to a rocket that they fire into space, replacing him as the city's new SuperTeam. [[HarmonyVersusDiscipline The lyrics of the song]] muddy the waters on whether this is a bad thing or not.
