* IronicEcho: "The Ballad of Guiteau" has Guiteau singing to himself to "look on the bright side" as a mean to reassure himself that he will be rewarded for killing President Garfield "tomorrow" and God would save him. The end of said ballad has the Balladeer using those same words to mock Guiteau for his deluded optimism, sarcastically reassuring him that he'll be saved from his death sentence, and he'll be remembered.

* MusicalisInterruptus: Played for drama during "The Ballad of Guiteau", where Guiteau snaps back to reality twice just before he can finish singing his ditty, and then a third time even earlier- this being the point where it becomes clear to him that nothing is going to save him from the gallows. Some versions even have the noose he gets hanged from drop at that point.

** Most notably, Guiteau's "Going to the Lordy" bit in his ballad is taken from lyrics the real Guiteau wrote shortly before his execution. (He read it at his execution and had actually requested an orchestra to accompany him, but that part was nixed.)) Said ballad also accurately noted that Guiteau believed God had chosen him to kill President Garfield, and had a crowd drawn to his trial, which his real life counterpart also faced owing to his behavior, from interrupting his attorney with insults and telling jurors his life story, including his narrow escapes from death, to talking back at the judge after he was sentenced to hang.
