Tropes
- Band of Relatives: Type 1 - Jesper and Jacob are brothers.
- Berserk Button: In "Jihad", the fact there is 'no fuel left for the pilgrims' is the singers:What? Blow me to Heaven!
- Claymation: The music video for "Bad Craziness" features Claymation caricatures of the band.
- Go Mad from the Isolation: The subject of "Bad Craziness", who says '...you won't believe, what I believe when I'm alone!'
- Impressive Pyrotechnics: The bass player, Stig Pedersen, is well known for his use of pyrotechnics, both live and in music videos, often using sparkle fountain fireworks to send huge cascades of blazing sparks shooting out from his bass, his helmet or both.
- Intercourse with You: "A Kiss Between The Legs" is a rather unsubtle one of these songs.
- Lady Land: The song "Girl Nation" is about one of these, even dropping the trope title in the lyrics:Globetrotting to lady land,
Back where time began. - The Night Owl: The protagonist of "Sleeping My Day Away" is one of these, ready to face the night after his "daymare is over".
- Our Lawyers Advised This Trope: The band were originally called "Disneyland After Dark" after the idea that anything could happen in said amusement park once the sun went down. A polite "request" from Disney forced the band to change their name to "D-A-D" to avoid a lawsuit they were ill equipped to fight and probably couldn't have won anyway.
- Principles Zealot: The protagonist of "Point of View" who says that he 'can't win on a compromise, I'd rather lose on my own'.
- Signature Style: The band are known for using intro guitar solos in a lower register at the start of the song before kicking in with vocals and inserting a more conventional solo later on.
