Protest Song | |
| AJJ (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: Nearly every track on Good Luck Everybody is some way an indictment of the political situation of 2020 USA, but "No Justice, No Peace, No Hope" is particularly pointed in calling out issues such as racism, greed, lies, and corruption in society. It also takes its name from a common protest chant. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| AJJ (Music) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: The music video for "Goodbye, Oh Goodbye" repeatedly breaks the fourth wall by having the musicians interact with the camera and having stage hands visible in shots. Taking it further, the video immediately transitions into a "Making Of" documentary about the video they just finished shooting, where band members and various crew members deliver insider information about how the video was made. | |

Black Comedy: As black as the void of space is empty. It's generally used as a way of slightly lightening the mood of their extremely bleak music. "Smoking Makes You Cool" is about how smoking killed Sean's grandfather and will probably kill him one day. | |

Title Track: They've sort of tiptoed around this a few times. "People" comes close to being People That Can Eat People's title track but technically isn't, and they have an unreleased song called "I Am the Knife Man" which would have been this for Knife Man had it not been cut. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| AJJ (Music) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The video for "Goodbye, Oh Goodbye" parodies music video tropes by being very half-assed and unenthusiastic. The band members do a very simple and unenthusiastic dance consisting mostly of small jumps and head nods, stagehands repeatedly run through the shot, and at one point Sean goes up to the camera and turns it to the side with his hand. Music video staples like confetti and balls that add color are added in comically underwhelming amounts, and the obligatory guy in an animal suit is sidelined and occurs in the periphery of shots. The whole thing is shot in a bland and visually unremarkable warehouse. Once the song ends, everybody involved burst into cheers and multiple people talk about how proud they are of how the video went. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In "Darling, I Love You," an absolutely horrible narrator who delights in seeing people and animals suffer recounts how much he earnestly loves the person he's singing about, telling them that yes, he enjoys being an awful human being, but he also adores them and misses them dearly. | |

Shout-Out | |
| AJJ (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: They sometimes name their songs after other songs ("This is Why I'm Hot," "Zombie by the Cranberries by Andrew Jackson Jihad," "Free Bird") sometimes with minor alterations in the title ("Love Will Fuck Us Apart.") The title of "Fucc the Devil" is a reference to Sacramento horrorcore rapper Brotha Lynch. "Do Re and Me" references hardcore punk band Man is the Bastard. "Coffin Dance" and "Angel of Death" reference Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans ("Shoot him again, I can see his soul dancing..."). "People II: The Reckoning" references "Mrs. Robinson" by Paul Simon, ("So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson/people love you more, oh nevermind...") and continues on, with the same melody and guitar as the original song. The album title "People who can eat people are the luckiest people in the world" is a reference to "People" from Funny Girl, which contains the line "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world". The altered quote originally comes from Kurt Vonnegut's Hocus Pocus. "Joe Arpaio Is a Punk" shares the opening of Dead Kennedys' "California Über Alles" and closes with the chorus "Arizona über Alles". It also drops in a few lines from The Misfits' "Last Caress". Their EP 'Only God Can Judge Me'' shares its name with a Tupac song. The cover for Operation Stackola is based on the album of the same name by rap duo Luniz. The fourth verse of "Survival Song" is lifted entirely from the chorus of the Woody Guthrie song "Do Re Mi," which the lyrics admit, in addition to referencing Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant. "Sorry Bro" includes the chorus of "Kids in America" by Kim Wilde. "Psychic Warfare" has a cello riff that somewhat resembles the one in Coldplay's "Viva La Vida". While that song includes musings on heaven, "Psychic Warfare" prominently involves damning someone to Hell. | |

Album Title Drop: The final lyric on Knife Man is its title, but it's nearly impossible to hear. "People" comes very close to dropping the title of People That Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World, but ultimately doesn't. The title of Good Luck Everybody is the final line of both "Normalization Blues" and "A Big Day for Grimley" | |

Everything Is an Instrument: The popping sound heard on “Kazoo Sonata in Cmaj� is producer Jalipaz Nelson hitting himself in the face 106 times, according to Can’t Maintain’s liner notes. | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song | |
| AJJ (Music) / int_ea454c4a | comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Maggie", off of Good Luck Everybody, is a sweet love song about a dog that stands out on an album full of incredibly bleak, politically-charged lyrics. | |

Fading into the Next Song | |
| AJJ (Music) / int_f3cf057b | comment |
Fading into the Next Song: "Brave as a Noun" transitions flawlessly into "Survival Song." The rain at the end of "Free Bird" can be heard at the beginning of "Big Bird," and some versions of Knife Man include the opening chords of "Back Pack" at the end of "American Tune." "Heartilation" into "Self Esteem." "Temple Grandin" segues into "Children of God." "We Shall All Die Alone Someday" into "Forest Fire." | |
