!! If I share with you my story, would you share your tropes with me?
* DrowningMySorrows: The protagonist of "I Need A Dollar" mentions resorting to drinking as a result of his plight which also contributed to his current state.
-->''I had some good old buddies, names is Whiskey and Wine\\
And for my good old buddies I spent my last dime\\
Now Wine is good to me, he help me pass the time\\
And my good old buddy Whiskey keep me warmer than sunshine''
* LyricalDissonance: "I Need A Dollar" is very upbeat and peppy for a song about a man becoming homeless after losing his job and reduced to begging strangers to give him money to make ends meet.
* ShoutOut: "The Man"'s melody and use of "You can tell everybody" is based on Music/EltonJohn's "Your Song".
