Deal with the Devil | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: The song "Harlots" tells the story of the Devil (played by Festus in the lyric video) appearing to a fiddler (Stanton) and trying to tempt him to sign a contract in exchange for fame and fortune, claiming that anyone else would take the deal because "We're all harlots." The fiddler doesn't take the deal. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The lyric video for "The Heart of the Sun" ends with Stanton's future self dying in his arms, and the spaceship the band is on flying into the sun, killing everyone onboard (except maybe Festus). | |

Hair-Trigger Temper | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_63b02752 | comment |
Hair-Trigger Temper: The first twelve seconds of "Is This Thing Gonna Work Out?" is of Festus screaming at traffic, much to Godfrey's annoyance. | |

Implacable Man | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_659ef759 | comment |
Implacable Man: The song "Paranoia Strikes" portrays paranoia itself as this, with the singer describing how it always finds him no matter how hard he tries to get away; in turn, the paranoia claims it's only trying to "help." In the lyric video, the paranoia is portrayed as a large, faceless figure that relentlessly chases Stanton. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: The theme song animation tells you everything you need to know about the band members. Stanton throws his guitar into Festus's drums, Festus promptly starts beating up Stanton for wrecking his drum set, Godfrey is cringing because he nearly got hit with one of Festus's cymbals, and Lucy is off to the side facepalming at the scene in front of her. | |

Bait-and-Switch: One comic strip has Stanton telling Godfrey and Festus that Lucy asked him to take off her top and skirt...and then she kicked him out of her room and told him to never try her clothes on again. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The band make some very Queen-esque poses in the "I Told You I Was Poor" video. The "Art Girl" video has the band briefly dressed up as members of The Village People. Also, the dancing heart is clearly based on Michigan J. Frog. | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_ca4e037 | comment |
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Stanton. One comic strip has a bodyguard mistake him for a woman, and in the video for "Art Girl," the titular girl Godfrey finally musters up the courage to talk to turns out to be Stanton in a wig and a skirt. Then they both see an actual art girl walk by, and are immediately smitten. | |

Cover Version | |
| Skeleton Staff (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: They've posted a few covers on their YouTube page. Examples include: Stanton singing "Chun Li" with piano accompaniment. An Electro-Dixie/Zydeco version of "Big Girls (You Are Beautiful)" by MIKA. An a capella version of "Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks. AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" for two mandolins...and a chorus of stompy bastards. | |

Gold Digger: The subject of "I Told You I Was Poor" is a woman who spends all of the singer's money on stuff for herself, and then promptly dumps him once he's flat broke. | |
