* NotSoDifferent: From "Joker's Song"

* HeavyMithril: The metal version of "Wake The White Wolf" takes ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'' and infuses electric guitar and pedals with the original [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouzouki bouzouki]]-using piece. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QMKjT6ZoUY Shadow Of The Ash]]" for ''VideoGame/ShadowOfMordor'' is possibly the most literal version of this trope.

* HeavyMithril: The metal version of "Wake The White Wolf" takes ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'' and infuses electric guitar and pedals with the original [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouzouki bouzouki]]-using piece.

--->'''Wake The White Wolf:''' Wake the white wolf at the dawn of war, the end of the age is a-comin' now.\\

** During "Shooter Guy", he [[BriefAccentImitation briefly imitates]] [[Creator/BenCroshaw Yahtzee]] when singing about ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'''s infamous [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Chest High Walls]].

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: "Only Us" has Jaime and Cersei reflect on the fact that everyone hates them and they'll go down in history as villains because of their various horrible deeds and their incestuous relationship. They decide to turn their back on the world, no longer caring about anything or anyone but each other.
-->''And they will raze our towers''\\
''And spit upon our names''\\
''And the ravens black over the fields of ash''\\
''Will whisper our tales of shame''

** Behold its use in "Road Rage".

"I will redden the road, release the rage!"

** His second ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' song is not "Break Out Your Kill Cutter," "Insanity Always Finds Me," "There Is No Gravity," or "My Ghosts Will Haunt The Furthest Of Stars." It's "Hell In The Headspace," a line in the second verse.

And now for SomethingCompletelyDifferent: ''Vistas'' is a collection of instrumental, relaxing ambient tracks, most of which are not based on any particular media. Includes an instrumental version of ''The Call'', which was inspired by ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline''.

Another track, ''Hitoshio'', was rereleased on Gavin's [=YouTube=] channel in 2017 as a tribute to ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', in celebration of the announcement of the eighth-gen remastered version of said game.[[/folder]]

** A rather subtle one in ''[[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Mojave Song]]'': the verse about the New California Republic contains the line ''"Resurrect the '''ol' soul''' of America."'' "Oso" is Spanish (the earliest European settlers of California) for bear.

** "All As One" has a couple of musical call backs to "Age of the Dragon" and actually uses a slightly modified version of its chorus towards the end.

** ''Break Of Dawn'' has many callbacks to ''Cataclysm'' in the music itself.

** ''[[VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus Revolution Spark]]'' reuses the lines "flawless has no face" and "rightness has no race", from ''[[VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder Resistance]]''. "Revolution Spark" also reuses some of the opening bars of "Resistance", and the "Revolution Spark"'s lyrics further develop the hope mentioned in "Resistance":

** ''A Thousand Eyes'' contains two references to his previous ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' song; "Paleblood will guide your way" is the first line of the chorus, and ''The cogs creak a melody'' forms the first line of the bridge.
** ''[[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Mojave Song]]'''s final lines are similar to the chorus of ''[[VideoGame/Fallout3 Wasteland Soul]]''.

** ''[[VideoGame/MetroExodus Open Air]]'' brings back an updated version of the bridge from ''The Day the World Died'' to reflect the new reality of the world, along with a few calls to the original song's ending. Two sets of lyrics also form thematic mirrors of each other.

* CloningBlues: The lyrics of "Ditto", a song inspired by {{Videogame/SOMA}}, revolve around [[spoiler:the concept of BrainUploading and the philosophical question of what happens when you and and your artificially created clone, who has all of your memories and personality, exist at the same time. Which one is the "real you"?]]

* ContentWarnings: Occasionally Gavin will put one in at the start of the video that accompanies a song; usually it consists of a serious warning that quickly turns into a joke. For instance, ''[[VideoGame/Doom2016 Hell to Pay]]'' opens with:

** His song ''[[VideoGame/DarkSouls Embers Rise]]'' is about someone who never stops rising, no matter how many times he's knocked down.
** ''[[VideoGame/DarkSouls Forever Flame]]'' also has a line about never giving up in is chorus:

** Most notably used in his ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' song, ''Trip to Vegas'', where it ends with the song stuttering and "[[GameBreakingBug crashing to desktop]]", with Gavin saying "God dammit, not again". This is an AffectionateParody of how many people, the artist included, experienced many [[GameBreakingBug problems like crashes and freezes]].

* RepulsiveRingmaster: ''Call of Duty Circus'' is sung from the point of view of one of these, presenting the people who play ''Call of Duty'' as freaks at a CircusOfFear.

* SanitySlippageSong: ''A Thousand Eyes'' is about Provost Wilhelm from ''Bloodborne'' descending into gibbering madness as he gains more and more [[ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow Insight,]] which causes [[BodyHorror eyeballs to grow on one's brain]] (the thousand eyes are not metaphorical, and insight is a [[BlackComedy darkly comic pun]]).

* SingingVoiceDissonance: He sings with an American accent, but in interviews, he speaks with whimsical Irish accent. He has explained this to the fans who think he's [[FakeIrish putting it on]]. (Especially after ''Nord Mead'', in which he uses his natural accent.)

** A somewhat ambiguous one comes up in his Iron Man Trilogy song, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdysbdsrT2Y My Iron Skin]]''

** ''Take it Back'', his ''Mass Effect 3'' song, got an updated version with better layer balancing to celebrate the release of the 'Extended Cut' patch for the game.
** ''Digital Shadow'' has an updated version with different balancing, called "Digital Shadow 2014".

** ''Joker's Song'', which is from the Joker's point of view about his obsession with Batman.

** ''[[Film/MadMaxFuryRoad Road Rage]]'' has the line "Speedin' to the rhythm of the [[Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome thunder in your dome]]".
** During ''Shooter Guy'', he [[BriefAccentImitation briefly imitates]] [[Creator/BenCroshaw Yahtzee]] when singing about ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'''s infamous [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Chest High Walls]].
* StealthInsult: His "I am Pudge" song was based on his experience being taught how to play [[VideoGame/Dota2 DotA 2]] by [[Webcomic/CriticalMiss Grey Carter]]. Grey edited the video that went with the song and slipped 'Gav is a casual' into one of the frames.

** Gavin re-released ''The New Black Gold'', his ''Human Revolution'' song, for his 100th video, completely re-recording the song in the process.
** Gavin also re-released an updated version of his ''Assassin's Creed'' song, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cvujeCj000&t=11s Brothers of The Creed]]'' replacing the verse "signal's out of range... I was forced to change," with the [[TookALevelInBadass infinately more badass and awesome]] "I kill for good... under my white hood."

** "Blood Of The Creed" ends with the verse "Musket guns and silver slivers/Justice runs in crimson rivers/Words of ancient truth we follow/Bleed these veins into tomorrow". The exact same verse turns up in "His Father's Son". The first part ("Justice Runs In Crimson Rivers..") turns up yet again in "Beneath The Black Flag," as well as an instrumental nod to "His Father's Son." "My Revolution" contains the verse "La justice est une rivière rouge", French for "Justice is a red river." Following that is the verse "Crimson are the rivers/Bleed our grief into the sea" from London Town. "Hallowed Land" has "The Nile runs red tonight". "Crimson are the rivers" appears again in "My Odyssey", along with numerous other lines that will sound familiar to people who have listened to his previopus Assassin's Creed songs, such as "Take a leap of faith" and especially the lines at the end of the song (just listen to "My Revolution" followed by "My Odyssey").
