Basic Trope: A song about sex.

  • Straight: Famous popstar Alice’s new song talks about “sparks flying when we’re alone together”.
  • Exaggerated: The lyrical descriptions are so explicit that it’s basically softcore porn.
  • Downplayed: The lyrics talk about getting more intimate with a lover but nothing as gratuitous as sex.
  • Justified: The two lovers in the song hooked up on a dating app to have a one-night stand.
  • Inverted:
    • The lyrics are full of innocent things like rainbows and unicorns.
    • The song is all about not having sex.
  • Subverted: Turns out it’s just a song about the Fourth of July.
  • Double Subverted: ...but then it’s revealed she’s deliberately having sex on the Fourth of July so the fireworks outside make it more exciting.
  • Parodied:
    • The lyrics talk about love-making using puns and euphemisms about making a hotdog.
    • The lyrics are mostly just the word "sex" repeated multiple times.
  • Zig Zagged: The song's lyrics repeatedly go back and forth between being about fireworks and about sex.
  • Averted:
    • The song’s lyrics are pretty tame and only talk about kissing and other cute gestures, no sex at all.
    • The song is an instrumental; there are no lyrics.
  • Enforced: Alice’s producers gave her a dirtier song in order to get her out of Contractual Purity.
  • Implied:
    • Alice breathes heavily and makes moaning sounds throughout the song.
    • It's left rather ambiguous to whether or not the song is actually about sex or if it's just an Accidental Innuendo.
  • Lampshaded: “Why do all pop songs have to be so subtle? Like, we know it’s about sex!”
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: "I'm not writing a song about sex, It's Been Done."
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
