Added DiffLines:

* IntercourseWithYou: "Dirty World", according to WordOfGod[[invoked]], is an AffectionateParody of Music/{{Prince}}. Which means you get Music/BobDylan singing lines like
-->''You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me\\
[[UnusualEuphemism If you need your oil changed I'll do it for you free]]\\
Oh baby, the pleasure be all mine\\
If you let me drive your pickup truck and park it where the sun don't shine''
* InTheStyleOf: "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" was Music/BobDylan's attempt at writing a Music/BruceSpringsteen song.
* {{Joisey}}: "Tweeter and the Monkey Man", which also gives us examples of...
** MurderBallad: fused with surreal pulp in a manner reminiscent of Creator/QuentinTarantino.
** NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: "Jan had told him many times, 'It was * you* to * me* who taught in Jersey everything's legal as long as you don't get caught"
** AffectionateParody of Music/BruceSpringsteen. Nearly every other line has a reference to one of his songs, and the scenario itself is an UpTo11 stew of every trope in his ouvre.
** NoNameGiven: The undercover cop in "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" is always referred to as "The undercover cop".
** ShootTheTV: The monkey man at the end. Apparently he objected to his portrayal in the news coverage.
** SoleSurvivor: Implied to be the fate of the Monkey Man.
** {{Transgender}}: Tweeter. Notable that it's taken seriously, and portrayed non-sexually.
