  • Covered Up:
    • "There She Goes" is the best-known example, originally by The La's. Also "Don't Dream It's Over", originally by Crowded House.
    • They've done so many cover songs that the general public seems to perceive them as "that cover band who also happened to sing 'Kiss Me'."
  • LGBT Fanbase: The fact that Leigh Nash is straight in real life and rumors that the cover is about heroin, not a person, have not stopped "There She Goes" — with its aversion of The Cover Changes the Gender — from earning its spot in the hearts of gay and bisexual women.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Any song that Leigh Nash wrote about relationship troubles, including "Easy to Ignore" and "Down and Out of Time". She and her husband divorced in 2007.
  • Refrain from Assuming: Track 11 on their self-titled album is called "Love", not "I Need Love". This wasn't a big deal for the first few years of that song's existence, but it became confusing after they covered the Sam Phillips song "I Need Love".
  • Signature Song: "Kiss Me". So ubiquitous during the late '90s/early '00s that it was the go-to song for any number of romantic teen comedies/dramas.
  • Sweet Dreams Fuel: "Kiss Me" is about as silly as a silly love song gets but damned if it's not the most romantic thing you've ever heard. "There She Goes" also features achingly sweet vocals. "Safety Line" from their latest album continues the trend.
