Protest Song | |
Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: Played with in "America." It sounds like Patriotic Fervor at first, but then turns against George W. Bush in the last verse. However, it still ends on a hopeful note about America. | |

Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_18565557 | comment |
Descent into Darkness Song: Several songs. "Superhero" starts with describing various superheroes kids might want to be before turning into a diatribe against his unfaithful wife who now lives in Hawaii with a doctor, dumping him with three kids and no job. | |

Fake-Out Opening | |
Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_50f17484 | comment |
Fake-Out Opening: His usual schtick is to have his songs start as a pleasant acoustic guitar ballad for the first verse before completely going off the rails by the chorus. Reversed with "Beelz," a song about Satan that starts out as a harsh whsiper for the first verse but then switches to a cheerful voice for the rest of the song. | |

Starbucks Skin Scale: Used in the song "Vanilla Ice Cream". Stephen says he only likes girls with dark shades of skin, and if you're too light, he's not interested. The chorus always starts with the lines "I only like black girls, the brown girls, the café au lait; caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away". | |

Pragmatic Villainy: Played for laughs in "Fishin' Hole". The singer calls everyone around him an asshole, and fantasizes about punching them. However, when he calls a bar an asshole (because it's closed for renevations), he admits that he can't punch the bar because he'd hurt his hand. | |

Audience Participation Song | |
Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_5fe1360d | comment |
Audience Participation Song: When performing "Superhero", Stephen usually invites the audience to come up with their own superheroes. The suggestions tend to get... inventive. Certain performances of "Vanilla Ice Cream" have audience members shouting out names of White celebrities who have dated/are married to Black women. Most of his songs count as this, but "Baby" invokes it. The "Live at the Del Ray" performance had him ask for just the guys, then just the ladies, then just those who were ugly babies to sing. | |

Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_8cbd311b | comment |
Good Angel, Bad Angel: "Voices In My Head" parodies this. The two voices in Stephen's head are both bad, with one being rather violent ("I hope that guy who heckled me gets hit by a school bus, that fucker") and the other being obsessed with sex ("Go on, ask that girl up front to come backstage and show her thong"). Also, both of them suggest that Stephen is a mess and that he should do a ton of cocaine. | |

Heel Realization: Subverted in "Fishin' Hole". After calling everyone he meets an asshole, the singer wonders "are there really assholes everywhere I look, or am I the one to blame?" He takes a good hard look at himself in the mirror (complete with a Beat), then calls the guy who sold him the mirror an asshole, because the "son of a bitch said it was antique" when it clearly isn't. | |

Refuge in Audacity: His entire schtick is this. For example: A song about being divorced for being absolutely disgusting; couched as a lullaby to his infant daughter. A song about a Jewish man who somehow lands a Neo-Nazi girlfriend. A song about his "special" friend Edward; who one day smashes him in the face him with a brick, making the narrator "special" too. A song making fun of the special Olympics A song about his twin daughters; one is born absolutely hideous (she's promptly abandoned). | |

World of Jerkass: "Fishin Hole," which is all about how the singer thinks everyone in the world except him is an asshole. | |

Also "If I Were Gay", which he lampshades by included a slight Beat. | |

The Grotesque: The titular "Baby", especially if the lyrics near the end are any indication. | |

Cain and Abel: Evidently, Jesus had a brother named Craig, a party animal and BFF of Judas. | |

Why Won't You Die? | |
Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_ecac4c42 | comment |
Why Won't You Die?: The singer of "Grandfather" is rather annoyed his elderly grandpa won't croak already, even name-dropping the trope. | |

Technician Versus Performer | |
Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_ef3d1b57 | comment |
Technician Versus Performer: Though he'd be quick to point out that he's not an especially skilled musician, Lynch considers himself a songwriter first and a comedian second, citing Carly Simon as a major influence. The only part of his songs that are intentionally funny are the subject, which makes them all the funnier. | |

Mushroom Samba: "So This is Outer Space" is about a man unaware he's high and thinks he's in outer space. He starts to come down from a bad trip, but gets some for the alien who sold him the drugs. | |

Running Gag | |
Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: His complete inability to whistle as part of his songs. It might start out okay, but it quickly dries up into literally blowing air through his lips before he gives up. | |

My Sister Is Off-Limits | |
Stephen Lynch (Music) / int_fb56b948 | comment |
My Sister Is Off-Limits: "Best Friend's Song" subverts this. Mark Teich is fine with Lynch sleeping with his sister... he just has to pay first. The radio version has him glossing over this to make one thing clear - he does NOT like Julia Roberts movies. | |
