Grief Song: Parodied in "The Dogs, They Really Miss You.".Filk Song: Many, such as "Leonard Cohen's Day Job".Evil, Inc.: A common theme, examples include Visa, Mastercard, and Exxon-Mobil.Everything Is Big in Texas: "Another Stupid Texas Song" mocks this mercilessly.Everything Is Better With Monkeys: "Monkey On My Back".Dogged Nice Guy: The theme of "Just a Friend".Notable examples include Brain Damage and C-U-B-A. Cover Version: They started out doing mostly these, but moved on to original work later.Corrupt Corporate Executive: In "'Go Ahead And Die," a health insurance CEO is portrayed as a stereotypical pirate.Cloud Cuckoo Lander: A number of the songs center around rather odd and offbeat people.The Catfish: "Boudreaux Was a Nutcase." This one's a large-mouthed bass, named Moby Jack.Cardboard Box Home: This is parodied in the song "Love In a Refrigerator Box".Blah, Blah, Blah: "Old Blevins", in which the song's narrator meets the eponymous individual in a bar, who seems to have some deep and abiding wisdom he's desperate to share:.Bilingual Bonus: Knowing Spanish makes "Buenos Dias, Budweiser" much more funny.Affectionate Parody: Mostly of country music cliches, but they also poke fun at The Beach Boys in "Hey Little Minivan," mariachi music in "Buenos Dias, Budweiser," among others.This band may exhibit the following tropes: Their cover of C-U-B-A was also featured in Michael Moore's film Sicko. Several of their songs have been made into music videos, including Too Big To Fail, Go Ahead And Die, and The Drugs I Need. Deisler's lyrics also marry comedy with a remarkably dark vision of humanity and its future ( Bonfire of the Inanities). The band often pokes fun at country music clichés, for example the "we were happier when we were poor" trope exaggerated into absurdity in " Love in a Refrigerator Box". Deislers lyrics, in contrast, focus on the existentially absurd, often combining absurdly unexpected pairings (such as making Richard Petty the subject of a surreal Luis Buñuel film) as well as pitiable, sometimes lovable characters bewilderingly unaware of their own absurdity and oddness ( Wendell the Uncola Man). His most frequent subject matter is love, especially comically forlorn yearning. Cards lyrics often rely on clever word plays, double entendres, and off-beat but sometimes poignant narratives about ordinary life. All the groups members contribute to songwriting, but the two principal songwriters have been Card and Deisler. Occasionally turns up in the "greatest hits" game on Whose Line Is It Anyway?.Their politically-themed songs tend to have a liberal leaning, which poke fun at conservative politicians ( The Ballad of Ronald Reagan, Gingrich the Newt) or satirize current political issues ( Go Ahead and Die).In another episode, Murray wore a leisure suit that matched the wallpaper.Think it isn't possible to murder the Star Wars theme? Think again.Bill Murray's character, Nick, on Saturday Night Live is probably the quintessential portrayal of this.In Lost in Translation, Bob nearly hooks up with a female lounge singer.In The Stinger, he force-feeds the final batch to his assistant, who is transformed into a lounge singer. A subplot in Ernest Goes to Camp concerns a Lethal Chef with Mad Scientist tendencies trying to perfect a dish called "Eggs Erroneous" (which doubles as high explosives).
