* AnAesop: "Red Flags" has a BeYourself aesop to it. Someone may be passionate about things that are traditionally considered "weird", but so long as it's self-moderated and isn't harming anyone, you shouldn't let it cloud your opinion on them. That said, the point is muddied into SpoofAesop territory due to both parties being on board with creating a real Human Centipede out of their wedding guests by the end of the song.

* BaitAndSwitch: It seems like the main character of "H.Y.C.Y.B.H." ''isn't'' going to ask the guy who's lost his grandmother if he's checked his butthole... and then he does anyway.
