The narrator then goes on to indicate he's done something similar, as he tells off someone who's apparently trying to convince him to return to a home he abandoned. The narrator starts off by telling about an old friend of his who "Said he couldn't go on the American way. Billy Joel's " My Life " is basically a song about this.Another humorous song parody, "The Twelve Pains of Christmas" by Bob Rivers, has the guy with the fourth pain, sending Christmas cards, give up and say he's not sending them this year while the guy with the second pain, rigging up the lights, ends up yelling "Fine! You're so smart, YOU rig up the lights!".There's a humorous - and vulgar - version of Jingle Bells where Santa's elves quit, citing that "they do all the fucking work/while he stars in the show".The first lyrics of the coda: "Screw this shit, I'm done / Making trance ain't fun." The trilogy ends with "The legend of ART", where DJ Damien raps over trance instead in an attempt to please StepMania players until three-fourths of the way through, when after a short Daft Punk sample, it goes back to angry rap.

In many cases, they're shown to be immature and selfish at best, rudely leaving everyone else behind just because they felt like it- even if their reasons for leaving are proven to be valid or at least understandable. What's less varied is the portrayal of the character. On the other hand, such a moment can also be comedic or light-hearted, where the character just up and leaves on a whim and doesn't hurt anyone else by doing so. Something that may leave the other characters (and audience) feeling betrayed. This is about the dramatic unplanned moment when a character abandons their friends/allies/coworkers/etc. So, when the situation just goes beyond what they're willing to put up with, deciding to leave can be a powerful statement. They might even just be bored out of their skull. The situation they find themselves in might have devolved into something so utterly Sick and Wrong or just downright weird that walking out immediately is the only way they feel they preserve what little remains of their dignity and/or sanity. They might be stuck with people that infuriate or annoy them, and be expected to stay with them for the whole story. They might be thrown into a dangerous situation, where they'll most likely get slaughtered by their enemy. Sometimes, a character is pushed just a bit too far.
