19	!!Tropes in their works:

21	* BestialityIsDepraved: The song "Ophélie" is about a very private and 'prohibited' kind of show where a woman has sex with a horse.
22	* FunWithPalindromes: The song "Un drôle de lord nu" ("a weird naked lord" - the palindrome only works in French), from the album ''Nu Cle Air Pop''.
23	* [[invoked]]InMemoriam: The album ''Sex Magik - Histoire de Lilith Von Sirius'' is dedicated to Diana Orlow (1971 - 1997) aka "Lilith Von Sirius", a writer, poetess, dancer, costume designer, esotericist and HighClassCallGirl who was famous in the UsefulNotes/{{Paris}}ian underground scene and died of uterine cancer at age 25.
24	* LooksLikeCesare: On stage, Bortek would sometimes perform in pale face makup and CreepyShadowedUndereyes.
25	* {{Magick}}: The album title ''Sex'' '''''Magik'''''.
26	* OneWomanSong: "Ophélie" and "Priscilla".
27	* {{Pun}}: Many of their songs contain plays on words.
28	* SelfTitledAlbum: Bortek released a solo album in 1997. It is titled, well, ''Bortek''.
29	* ShoutOut:
30	** The songs "Aiwass" and "Magik [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]]" from the album ''Sex Magik'' are clear references to Creator/AleisterCrowley.
31	** In the music video of the song "Mélancolie", there's a picture of John Merrick from ''Film/TheElephantMan'' on the wall.
32	* WordSaladTitle: The band's name was completely made up by Bortek. According to him, "at the time, every band's name meant something. I didn't want my band's name to mean anything."
