1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: |
2 | ** That high note in "A Little Respect" (on "to-oo ''meeeeeee''") is ''absolutely triumphant''. |
3 | ** The opening track on ''I Say I Say I Say'', "Take Me Back", has an even higher note few ''women'' can even hit. |
4 | ** [[VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack AAAALLLWAYYYS, I WANNA BEEEE WITH YOU, AND MAKE BELIEEEEEVE WITH YOU, AND LIVE IN HARMONY HARMONY OH LOOOVE~]] |
5 | ** Their Music/{{ABBA}} covers are pretty awesome too. Specially their cover of "Voulez Vous". |
6 | ** The likes of Sometimes, Stop! and their US breakout hit "Chains of Love" are pop perfection to this day. |
7 | * FanNickname: Tracks with no vocals are known as [[{{Pun}} "Vincestrumentals"]]. |
8 | * FriendlyFandoms: With Music/PetShopBoys, due to a similar SynthPop style, as well as both bands having openly gay frontmen. |
9 | * SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The various {{visual pun}}s in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiKVjS3gR88 video]] for "A Little Respect". |
10 | * HoYay: Vince is married to a woman, and Andy had a boyfriend of his own for the entire time the group existed. However, they've called each other their soulmates and have stated in interviews that they love each other. |
11 | * LGBTFanbase: A SynthPop band with an openly gay singer, it was inevitable. |
12 | * MemeticMutation: "Always" had a recent resurgence in popularity in the early 2010s after being featured in the Flash game ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack''; likewise, the ''WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}'' with "Chains of Love". |
13 | * NewerThanTheyThink: "Always" keeps getting referred to in some quarters as an [[TheEighties Eighties]] song, when in reality it came out in 1994 -- and in a bizarre twist, the 2009 remix is the one used in ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack'' rather than the original. |
14 | * SignatureSong: "Sometimes", "A Little Respect", "Stop!", "Always". |
15 | ** Largely due to its inclusion in ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack'', "Always" stands as the band's best-known song among a certain demographic in the 21st century. "Chains of Love" also comes in at a close second thanks to its repeated use by WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} to mess with automated content claims on [=YouTube=]. |
16 | * SpiritualSuccessor: ''Wonderland'' was this to Yazoo, with Andy imitating Alison Moyet's style on some of the album tracks. |
17 | * TearJerker: |
18 | ** "Spiralling". The delivery, and especially the haunting bit at the end. |
19 | %%** "Am I right", too. |
20 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Overwhelming fan reaction to ''Loveboat'' -- the critics, however, disagreed. |
