* BerserkButton: Most of Regina's songs are either quirky and adorable or balladic and depressing, but the live-only song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mArmSi2JaM Ink Stains]]" is her only genuinely ''angry'' song, about how she wants to [[KarmicDeath gas Holocaust deniers]]. It has some uncharacteristically gory imagery ("so who'll be the Jew to make the papers / drenched in blood up to your blue Jew eyeballs") and the song ends with an [[OneWomanWail angry, emotional wail]]. She's also posted on her Myspace blog about her support for Israel because of how the Jews have been exploited and massacred throughout history.

** "Flyin'" does this too, starting out as a quirky narrative about a little girl who imagines flying out her window... then a teacher makes a move on her and, when she refuses, ''throws her out the window''. The last lines of the song state that she's "been flying ever since", implying she's dead.
