Extra Songs

There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required. How does Mariachi Memory affect the cap? Can we now hold 7 songs in our head?

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

All Accordion Thief buffs count as songs. The song cap, which is normally 3, prevents additional songs from being played on you (and prevents you from using recordings) unless the number of songs you have active is less than that cap.

Cap-Increasing Equipment

The following equipment will allow you to keep 4 songs in your head instead of 3.

• plexiglass pendant
• Brimstone Beret
• super-sweet boom box
• Scandalously Skimpy Bikini (custom item)
• Sombrero De Vida (custom item)
• Operation Patriot Shield (this effect for Accordion Thief only)

The following equipment will allow you to keep an extra song in your head. (These effects stack with the above and each other and can raise the cap to 6.)

• La Hebilla del Cinturón de Lopez (Accordion Thief Epic Accessory)
• zombie accordion (this effect for Accordion Thief only)

Cap-Increasing Skills

• Mariachi Memory

Cap-Bypassing Items

Some items, see list below, grant random beneficial effects, including Accordion Thief song buffs. With these items additional songs can be acquired regardless of your song cap. And once acquired, the duration of those songs can be extended by any of the usual ways.

Item	Use method	Buff duration
chaos popcorn	food	5 adv
ittah bittah hookah	familiar equipment	6 adv
Knob Göblin lòve potion	potion	4 adv

Note that all of these items select from a set of hundreds of different buffs, most of which are not songs.

Cap Reset

After any change in equipment or familiar, if you have more active songs than allowed, the ones with the least number of turns left will be removed, with one of the following messages, chosen at random.

<song name> doesn't appear to be stuck in your head any more. Damn earworms.

<song name> doesn't appear to be stuck in your head any more. Huh.

<song name> doesn't appear to be stuck in your head any more. Interesting.

<song name> doesn't appear to be stuck in your head any more. It gets replaced with the Macarena. Damn it.
