Stablehand: Incongruity and Duplicity Sing the Blues

This one has kind of a weird story behind it, but here goes.

In Stablehand there are two wandering characters who go by the names Sleipnir and Hughes. Hughes is (or at least appears to be) a talking crow with a Southern accent who wears a straw hat and a vest. He tends to be quirkily optimistic and often says random, bizarre things. A fairly typical example of the Incongruity attribute.

Sleipnir, who Hughes often just refers to as "Sly", is a bit more complicated, but he might best be described as an obscure, elusive criminal. He has no idea who he is because he has no defined appearance or name—he can remember the codename Sleipnir having been applied to something at some point, but the first twenty or so years of his life are otherwise blank to him. He just kind of wanders around and does whatever jobs are available, whether legal or illegal, and every so often his appearance just sort of shifts into what appears to be an entirely different person. He's kind of solitary and introverted, and has a bad habit of appearing suspicious after a while even if he hasn't done a single thing worthy of suspicion recently, which forces him to move to new places often (a pretty typical example of the Duplicity attribute). Deep down, he really wishes that some day he could simply be a single, honest person with a defined identity who never had to take underground jobs or lie to people or assume new identities or anything.

In the song, Sleipnir is trying to sing a serious song about his solitude and his wish to go "clean", while Hughes is soiling the song with random silliness because he thinks it's kind of dumb; he doesn't understand why Sleipnir always ignores his attempts at companionship when he's right there, and as he knows it's pretty much impossible for him to change his ways, he thinks it's kind of ridiculous he'd even try.
