** The first verse of "Where Did You Go?" initially seems like an over-dramatic but sincere ballad about missing a friend or romantic partner who left with no explanation - then the chorus and subsequent verses make it clear that the singer is a pet dog, whose owner probably just went to work for the day and returned.

Then, though, the chorus and subsequent verses make it clear that the singer first-person figure is a pet dog, whose owner probably just went to work for the day and returned.

* SillyLoveSongs: The duo usually deliver these with humor that adds a lot of irony. See, for example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjmBQZNG8L0 “Internet Troll”]]. Irony notwithstanding, though, they can occasionally express sincere love in a nerdy context, as in [[https://www.shazam.com/gb/track/88783318/this-fantasy-world "This Fantasy World"]], the song of a woman who quite likes playing TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons with one particular guy, but isn't too happy about his friends and environment, and would like to get him away for an actual romantic relationship.

The Doubleclicks are a {{nerd}}-{{folk music}}al duo based in Portland, Oregon, consisting of siblings Laser Malena-Webber (guitar, ukulele, and cat keyboard) and Aubrey Turner (cello). They first became known for performing nerd-friendly comedy music, including songs about TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons, dinosaurs, and other geeky themes. While their later songs retain those elements, they have increasingly focused on feminist and other social issues on one side and more personal themes on the other. (Laser identifies as non-binary, and one or two of their songs refer to this.) Basically, they make use of very geeky metaphors, because those are their points of reference, but use them to quite cutting efect, to make serious points or depict relationships with serious issues.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The ''Worst Superpower Ever'' EP is specifically aimed at a younger audience than their usual albums, so it features "kids versions" of previously released songs: This usually just entails toning down objectionable language (especially in "This Fantasy World").
** "A Lullaby For Mr. Bear" is a special case - the version on ''Chainmail And Cello'' eventually turns into a RousingLullaby, exhorting the listener to be vigilant of monsters that "feed on dreams" and "are coming for your soul"; the ''Worst Super Power Ever'' version replaces that entire verse with a cello solo. However, both versions were released simultaneously, and the ''Chainmail'' version is labeled the "adult version", so it's possible they did a DarkerAndEdgier version of a kids song, not a LighterAndSofter version of an adult song.
