  • Just read the Owl City blog. Especially the post about hockey (remember, he's from Minnesota). On a similar note, his Twitter has some gems. Especially when he tweets while sleep-deprived, or debates the many ways to not enter Mordor.
  • "Rugs From Me To You".
  • Admit it. You laughed at "Peppermint Winter."
    • "I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace / 'til I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face..."
    • "I rip off the wrapping and tear through the box / 'Til I end up with 45 new pairs of socks..."
    • "The snowflakes start falling and I start to float / 'til my mean older brother stuffs snow down my coat!"
  • Adam spontaneously made a weird noise in concert, right after finishing a song.
  • "I'm Coming After You" from the Midsummer Station is hilarious, especially the chorus. There's just something about Adam excitedly singing like a police siren that makes you wanna giggle. This image helps a lot as well.
  • "Deer in the Headlights" is told by a Johnny Bravo-esque Casanova Wannabe who is punched or maced upon first approach. With a Perspective Flip, it's even funnier.
  • His song Take to the sky is played in Legend Of The Guardians The Owls Of Ga Hoole while the band is shown around Ga'hoole. In other words, we're hearing an Owl City song while seeing the Owl City.
  • The music video for "Vitamin Sea" is a perfect example of setting dissonance - while Adam sings about going on vacation to beautiful and summery Hawai'i, he's singing in the middle of a Minnesota winter.
