Without any spoilers: One of the songs (You are sixteen) keeps getting played on a record player in the middle of the night with none of the residents having put it on. The author then has one of the residents creeping around in the dead of night and intersperses the narration of their actions with lines from the song. Gave me the heeby jeebies

Totally made up example:
Trembling he crept down the corridor.
Baby you're on the brink
His breath was ragged and the floor boards creaked as he moved down the stairs.
Better beware be canny and careful.

I'll never look at Liesl and Rolf's charming gazebo scene in the same way!
