9 | !! Tropes in their songs include: |
10 | |
11 | * DatingCatwoman: "Then Again, Maybe Not" |
12 | * EveryBodyHatesMathematics: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with "Booty Do Math", which is about love of mathematics. |
13 | * FanConvention: "Going Home." |
14 | -->It's like Mecca for Geeks, |
15 | -->In a star filled sky, |
16 | -->Where you can meet all you heroes, |
17 | -->And none of them fly. |
18 | * IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam: "Great Lakes Avengers" is about a wannabe superhero who gets rejected by all the big-name superhero groups, and ends up joining the GLA largely because they're the only group who will have him. |
19 | * ImAHumanitarian: "Up, Up, Down Down" |
20 | * MagicalGirlfriend: "Superpowered Love" |
21 | * PunchClockVillain: "Henchmen" |
22 | * SadClown: "Web-Slinger/Hope-Bringer" describes ComicBook/SpiderMan this way. |
23 | * StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks: "Booty Do Math" is a parody of this trope (it's more about the "math" than the "booty"). |
24 | * VillainSong: Seemingly subverted with "Villain Song", which, rather than being a villain gloating about how he'll rule the world, is about how the villain is so tired of being defeated over and over by the hero, so he's now retired. [[spoiler:Until the end of the last verse, that is.]] |
25 | * YearX: The first line of "Take It From Me" references the use of the trope throughout the Mega Man setting. |
26 | * YouAreNotAlone: The chorus of "The Day My Powers Arrived" has Professor X and Colossus reassure the protagonist that they'll help as long as it takes. Said protagonist makes this same promise to another {{Mutant}} at the end of the song. |
