* EvenBetterSequel: While ''FB3'' was well regarded, the band's second and final album, ''Waiting'', is considered a major step up thanks to Music/DavidByrne's more elaborate production meshing better with the band's songwriting.

* CoveredUp: "It Ain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It)" is an old jazz number first done by Jimmie Lunceford and later by the likes of Music/EllaFitzgerald and Music/LouisArmstrong, but most people today only know The Fun Boy Three version.
* TearJerker: "Well Fancy That" is both this and NightmareFuel. It's about [[spoiler:Terry Hall's abuse at the hands of a teacher who took him to France, claiming it was for a school trip. The teacher turned out to be a member of a paedophile ring, and he and others sexually abused Hall for four days, before the teacher dumped him by the side of the road...after punching him in the face. Hall was ''twelve'' at the time, and the experience scarred him so deeply he ended up having to go on Valium, before dropping out of school while still in his teens.]]
