* NightmareFuel: "A Message from Ms. Matronic" from their first album. It's the track that plays on the UK album to both thank you for buying the album and to let you know the bonus tracks are starting and a sound will play so the listener can either keep listening or restart the album. Doesn't sound bad at all, right? Well for whatever reason, the noise they chose to let the viewer know is a blood-curdling ''scream'', which is played twice - the second time being after a solid few seconds of dead silence. It's bound to catch the avergae listener off-guard.
* SignatureSong: "I Can't Decide", in no small part because of its use in a memorable scene from ''Series/DoctorWho''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: In the case of this band, it's debatable whether or not anything ''was'' trip-inspired, but their deranged music videos for for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od7-fyGa9DQ Take Your Mama]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H5I6y1Qvz0 I Don't Feel Like Dancin']]" count.
** The video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG4cec5cR78 "Invisible Light"]] takes the absolute cake. It's a surreal psycho-sexual acid trip strained through 60s/70s-era Creator/RomanPolanski, mixed with Creator/StanleyKubrick and sprinkled with ''Film/TheLastTemptationOfChrist'' that comes out looking like an amazing trailer for the most bizarre movie never made.
*** You'd think with the video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FV2ILnnTa0 "Fire With Fire"]] that maybe things would've changed. Then came [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHv0jW4p_xA "Any Which Way"]].

Face Of The Band disambig'd per TRS. Don't link it anywhere.


* FaceOfTheBand: While all the members are popular enough for the fandom to be divided into camps (Babydaddy is even considered a [[TheBear bear]] icon), Jake Shears and Ana Matronic are easily the most recognizable.
