* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Just being the voice of the groundbreaking UsefulNotes/MP3 format with her a capella version of "Tom's Diner."

* EclipsedByTheRemix: The original version of "Tom's Diner" doesn't have music. It was originally acapella. The hit version of the song is the DNA 12" remix.

* SampledUp: The PopPunk generation knows “Tom’s Diner” as the bridge of [[Music/FallOutBoy “Centuries”]]

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: "Luka" teaches us about child abuse and how no one should ignore the plight of the children enduring it. The LyricalDissonance makes the song even more {{Anvilicious}} when people pay attention to the lyrics, and so they should.

* {{Earworm}}: "Tom's Diner." Doo doo doo doo, doo da-doo doo... It is now officially stuck in your skull for the rest of ''your life''. (but this is a ''good'' thing...)

* TearJerker - "The Queen And The Soldier”. Not-conventionally-saccharine female vocals, well-meaning protagonist desperately trying to end a senseless waste of life, the feeling that just once they'll listen to reason and everything'll be okay, but no.

** "Bad Wisdom" falls firmly here too, being a chronicle of a young girl who's been raped finding no support no matter where she turns-- her doctor, her friends, the law, her own mother. The plaintive calliope in the background really drives home her loneliness.

Could easily be interpreted that the boy throwing himself off the tower to his death is someone that the narrator knows well.

** As could "In Liverpool", with the lines "The boy in the belfry he's crazy/He's throwing himself down from the top of the tower...maybe he's missing something or someone he knows he can't ever have/And if he isn't, I certainly am". Could easily be interpreted that the boy throwing himself off the tower to his death is someone that the narrator knows well.
