- Alice sings about how she's dated/kissed/etc a lot of people but doesn't go too raunchy.

- Enforced:

- Lampshaded: "Wow, Alice's lyrics would drive my prudish neighbour insane!"
- Invoked: "Just go out and sing about how lusty you are!"
- Exploited:

- Defied:
- Alice loves sex and singing, but she refuses to sing about her sex life.
- Discussed: "Did you hear Alice sing that song? She's so raunchy!"
- Conversed:
- "Why do so many women sing Bawdy Song's in musical numbers?"
- Implied: Alice sings, we don't hear the lyrics, but a group of nuns are seen looking shocked.
- Deconstructed:
- Alice seems like she's going to start singing about how much she likes sex, but then the lyrics turn out to be about how disgusting men are.
- The song takes a sudden swerve into darkness as Alice laments the hollowness of her lifestyle and how she can't have a real emotional connection with anybody.
- Reconstructed:
- ...but then the song does turn out to be about how much Alice likes sex... just not with men.
- But then she has some Character Development into an Ethical Slut lifestyle and does a triumphant reprise of the song.
- Played for Laughs: The song has lots of adult humor.
- Played for Drama:
- Alice sings her song about loving sex, as a symbol of her independence as an adult after being raised by an oppressive, religious patriarchal family.
