| Rick Springfield (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Most of his pre-1980s songs were more pop-oriented, with little resembling the rock or power pop style he is known for today. | |

| Rick Springfield (Music) / int_9c5ed17 | comment |
Singing Voice Dissonance: He sings largely with an American accent, to the point that it can be quite surprising to learn he's really from Australia. | |

Heartbeat Soundtrack | |
| Rick Springfield (Music) / int_d13e0db3 | comment |
Heartbeat Soundtrack: "My Depression" from "shock/denial/anger/acceptance" ends with three heartbeats before stopping. This is made even more atmospheric by the last line in the final verse with the character questioning if he is "ready for the second half" and a scream before the close of the song, suggesting the heartbeat is the character's final moments of life. Becomes even more haunting knowing of Rick's lifelong struggles with depression and his own suicide attempt at seventeen. | |
