| 6 | !!Beat Happening provides examples of: |
| 7 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Though "Indian Summer" sounds innocent and somewhat childish, it features a few surprisingly suggestive lyrics, such as "I'll drink from your drain" and "boy tasting wild cherry". |
| 8 | ** These lyrics may simply be aligned with the puerile capriciousness and innocence of the song. |
| 9 | * FieryRedhead: "Red Head Walking". |
| 10 | * NewSoundAlbum: 1993's ''You Turn Me On'' is a huge departure from the soft twee pop of ''Jamboree'', especially on "Godsend," a 9-minute droning riff-based song. |
| 11 | * NonAppearingTitle: There's no mention of a "derby" in "Pine Box Derby"...the lyrics are all about the "pine box rock". |
| 12 | * PerpetualFrowner: Calvin. |
| 13 | * ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: The band was known for its minimalistic sound. |
