This troper's father wrote a cheerful song about vivisecting a rat while it was still conscious.

I'm pretty sure "conscious" (or at least "alive") is implied in the definition of vivisection.... Sorry. I'll stop now.

At the end of September 2001, this troper wrote and sang a parody based on a medley of kid-oriented anime openings. The theme of the parody? Making fun of 9/11.

This troper wrote a song with a relatively happy tune. The song is about public suicide. :D

Komm Susser Tod?

This troper's songs are happy acoustic tunes with lyrics about gore and killing.

This troper once put new lyrics to "The Marines Hymn" about how the US Army sucks.

This troper once had a song enter her mind about a woman who is imprisoned, and her brother driven insane by excessive torture, after learning of a conspiracy on behalf of the Royal Children to kill their father [the King.] I do not know where it came from, but it came along with a very happy tune reminiscent of the songs you learn in Kindergarten. The kicker? This all happened at church. I had to cover my notebook the entire time to avoid my mother looking over, seeing what I was writing, and promptly dropping dead.

This troper dabbled on writing his own music back in his college days after getting himself a copy of a Tracker program for his computer (an {{Amiga}} 500). One experimental composition ended up fitting the trope by accident. It was to the tune of a swing-dance song similar to "Build Me Up: Buttercup", but the lyrics were about a guy who ran into his {{Yandere}} ex-girlfriend and was really pissed about it. The troper's collegemates had a good laugh about it when they heard a demo.

One year, the director of the choral group this troper was in decided he wanted us to sing songs from "Annie" for our spring concert. One of the songs was "Maybe," which is, for those of you that don't know, is a very sad, very poignant song about Annie wanting to find her parents. Our choral director's solution? To have us sing the song in happy, upbeat voices. Someone please get me a barf bag.

Many residents of St. Louis and Kansas City can probably recall the first time they heard this gem: "Midwest Hemorrhoid Treatment Center... don't suffer in silence!"

This troper is singing a song about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ...in G major.

This troper has seen Within Temptation's ''Angels'' song used to support pairings on youtube in complete seriousness, especially for Twilight. The music is soft and pretty, and the singer's voice is no less so. However, the lyrics are about a ManipulativeBastard at best, and possibly a CompleteMonster (the music video makes the subject of the song a serial killer). I can understand people mistaking a song for being less ominous than it really is in some cases, such as when a song's chorus sounds deceptively innocent, but even that is no excuse here: #QUOTE#''You took my heart, deceived me right from the start'' #QUOTE#''You showed me dreams, I wished they would turn into real'' #QUOTE#''You broke your promise and made me realize'' #QUOTE#'''It was all just a lie.'''

This troper's mother bought the Ke$ha CD for some incomprehensible reason, and proceeded to play it on a long car trip. At the end of the CD, there were some bonus songs. One of the ones that played was very upbeat and innocent sounding. These were the first few lines: #QUOTE# ''(Just can't wait) Oh boy, I just can't wait for history class. It's my favorite hour of the day'' #QUOTE# ''Up on the chalkboard I just love your ass (mmm)'' #QUOTE# ''When you write notes that shake-shake-shake'' #QUOTE# ''So when you get back my pop quiz, what will you think when you read this?'' #QUOTE# ''Mr. Watson, I want to get with you. I won't tell a soul what we're gonna do.'' #QUOTE# ''Wanna get my hands in your khaki pants''

Luckily, since it was Ke$ha, I was ready for it.

Isn't that "Mr Watson"?

This trope is the reason this troper usually prefers to listen to instrumentals unless the lyrics are just as awesome as the song. The instruments can be incredibly awesome, but if the lyrics are completely inappropriate for the song, it gets pretty jarring.

This troper wrote a nice little happy-go-lucky sounding tune, along with some lyrics. The lyrics happen to be about an actor slowly going insane out of sheer stress and a feeling of worthlessness, telling all his fans and colleagues how much they made it worse and how bitter he is towards them, and that he's going to kill himself in the middle of a performance in front of a live audience.

Okay, this troper probably has outdone everyone by sheer quantity. He has written multiple songs about nuclear warfare (one to the tune of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and one to the tune of "American Pie," although admittedly those songs are somewhat melancholy anyhow), a song about the Rwandan Genocide (to the tune of "Yellow Submarine"--okay, we were studying that in class and it popped into my head), and a song parodying Kipling's "The White Man's Burden" to the tune of "TiK ToK" (again, influenced by schoolwork). It has slowly occurred to my acquaintances that there is something seriously wrong with me.

Kind of invoked with this troper: he wrote a short song (well, two verses at the time of writing) about Ed Gein (for those of you who are fans of {{Slayer}}, yes, this is the same guy from "Dead Skin Mask" and, for fans of {{Lordi}}, yes, this is the guy who inspired "Deadache") to a minor key version of "Rockabye Baby". It was pretty creepy (and surprisingly catchy), yet everything in it is either accurate or unproven in accuracy by the authorities. The lyrics, luckily, are so cringeworthy that he doubts he'll ever perform it live.
