8	----
9	!!This band and their songs provide examples of:
10
11	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The song 'Too Damn Rock and Roll' plays with this. The girl may want him, but she won't follow through.
12	** Some fans have humorously theorized that the man is supposed to be Neil.
13	* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: The song 'Pig Tails' is about one of these guys. [[TearJerker After the relationship ended.]] .
14	* BeautyIsBad: The man described in 'Too Damn Rock and Roll'.
15	--> They say that he ain't got a soul/He'll make your knees lose full control...
16	* CruelCheerleader: The guy in 'Pig Tails' realizes his girlfriend is a mean cheerleader. He notes that she 'used to be sweeter', indicating that she may have been nicer before. It's [[TearJerker surprisingly sad]].
17	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Done on purpose. Never has art class been so...charged.
18	* DoubleEntendre: Oh, so many.
19	* HighSchoolSweethearts: Some of their songs revolve around this, though the degree of affection varies.
20	* HurricaneOfPuns: The song 'Yeast Infection'.
21	* LampshadedDoubleEntendre: The song 'Yeast Infection' is full of bread-related puns, but they also relate to money. [[strike: And sex]].
22	** As does 'Bunsen Burner Baby Blues', in relation to science.
23	** And 'Masterpiece' in relation to art. Come to think of it, most of their songs are like this.
24	** The unreleased song '[[http://cheerupcharliedaniels.bandcamp.com/track/marching-band-romance Marching Band Romance]]' doesn't even ''try'' to hide it.
25	---> That's not a drumstick in my pants...
26	* LyricalDissonance: The demo of 'Ice Cold Razor Blades' sounds like a happy, upbeat song one might hear at a spa. It's about a woman getting her throat slit.
27	* MoodWhiplash: Going from this to Neil's [[Music/AdamAndTheCouchPotatoes other]] [[Music/TheProtomen bands]] can be quite the switch.
28	* Music/TheProtomen: Neil O'Neil voices Dr. Wily. Recently, Luke became one of their guitarists.
29	* {{Pun}}s: 'Yeast Infection' has quite a few, all relating to bread. (And money.)
30	--> I don't make enough bread to keep you satisfied/ Dough is all I'm kneading to get a slice of your high..
31	* ShowdownAtHighNoon: Panther, of Music/TheProtomen, did a promotional song, ''The Duel'', about the band facing off against a similarly-named group for rights to the name. There can only be one victor.
32	** ForegoneConclusion: Cheer Up Charlie Daniels won.
33	*** The song has gotten a sequel, ''The Duel: Part 2'', detailing the band's faceoff at the Road to Bonnaroo on May 17. [[spoiler: They got second place.]]
34	*** In 2011, the band came back to Bonnaroo for a rematch. And won.
35	* SmokingIsCool: Subverted; the song 'No More Nicotine' details how they're much better off not smoking.
36	* VisualPun: Some of the puns in 'Yeast Infection' are only recognizable as such when you see them.
37	* TheWestern: Both parts of ''The Duel'' are this.
38	** Part 2 even more so now that the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Ht8NU5oJ0&playnext_from=TL&videos=5JpZ4_TCIuQ music video]] is out.
