* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The wind is personified into a cheeky AllKnowingSingingNarrator in a suit. Justified as the same actor appears at the beginning of the episode, wearing the same suit, and playing a TV weatherman who's predicting the very wind that his actor will go on to play.

Added DiffLines:

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Santa Ana winds are personified as a self-described "prankster", and the effects are presented as deliberate attempts to mess with Rebecca's life. While it pisses Rebecca off, the winds are still a force of nature. They don't consider whether their actions hurt or harm, they're just stirring up mischief "to see what will happen".

-->''Unfortunately I wanna have sex with you,\\
I don't know what happened, maybe you lost some weight,\\
For some reason you're now on the top of my To Do List, let's get this over with,\\
So I can focus on other tasks -- let's have intercourse,\\
Just pretend I'm seducing you, c'mon let's quickly have intercourse,\\
So I can mo-oove on, with my life.''\\
* ArtisticLicenseMusic: Type 1, parodied in that Nathaniel mimes playing guitar for a few moments and then drops it on the floor (with an audible bonk) because he just can't be bothered.
* DanceOfRomance: Parodied: Rebecca dances around the room while Nathaniel sings, and when they do dance together, it's often in what looks an awful lot like some kind of sexual position.
* MoodDissonance: It's a gentle acoustic song about having loveless sex just because the UnresolvedSexualTension is annoying to the singer.
