Black Comedy: Which could sum up a lot of Zevon's career in general.The lyrics leave it ambiguous who got the better end of the deal. After that he gets caught up in the minutiae of human existence. Becoming the Mask: The title simian in "Gorilla, You're a Desperado" yanks Zevon into his cage at the zoo, then steals his glasses and his life.It works surprisingly well, showing once again that Tropes Are Not Bad. Auto-Tune: Used on "Genius." Since he was a decent singer on his own, it seems to have been an artistic choice.The fighting of the subsequent few years in Stanleyville was a mercenary-led uprising by the former Katangese Gendarmerie, which was made up primarily of the Bazela and Luba peoples.

Artistic License History: A very mild case in "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner." The lyrics state, "through '66 and 7, they fought the Congo War" and describes Roland and his comrades battling the Bantu, but the Congolese Civil War was officially over by 1965.Anti-Role Model: "Mr Bad Example", who doesn't have time for Sloth because he's too busy committing the other six deadly sins.Anti-Love Song: "Looking for the Next Best Thing", "Nobody's In Love This Year", "Finishing Touches", "Angel Dressed in Black".Once Roland comes back as a headless Revenant Zombie, he gets his revenge by blasting Van Owen's body "from there to Johannesburg" with his Tommy gun. Amoral Afrikaner: The backstabbing "son-of-a-bitch Van Owen" from "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner" is heavily implied to be one he's a mercenary involved in the Congolese Civil War note Technically, if they really fought "through '66 and 7", as the song says, Van Owen and Roland would have been involved with the Stanleyville Mutinies with a stereotypically Dutch South African surname.all lowercase letters: Early in his career, he was in a duo called lyme and cybelle, billing himself as stephen lyme.
