The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What's always bothered me about it was that during the spell, people were being extra honest, and singing things they wouldn't normally say, and Xander said nothing. Then the spell is over, and poof, he suddenly tells the truth?
What Victor and Holli Said, and also, I'm now wishing (or possibly fanwanking) that Xander was prevented from confessing by the spell itself.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Not entirely impossible, actually. It did force them to, more or less, play out the musical scenario, and that could have easily hampered their judgement. I suspect it may have had more influence over their behaviors than they realized.

Another social casualty...
Victor's and Holli's theory also explains what I've been puzzling over for a while, which is the fact that in the "I'll Never Tell" number, Xander really didn't tell his deepest fears about getting married.

I thought he mentioned the hairy toes?

He was only afraid of the hairy toes until he saw LotR, at which point he became deeply enamoured of them. (They reminded him of Elijah Wood.)

I know this has been done to death, but ever time I see OMWF and Xander and Anya pester Giles for some way to stop this thing it annoys me. Xander doesn't even look embarrassed
I don’t think he knew that whatever he did lead to all of those incidents at the time he was talking to Giles. If I recall correctly, Giles even said he didn’t know whether things were related. And Sunnydale has (had) no shortage of demony things, so he could have thought something else was causing the combustible persons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I fixed your link, Narrator. Extra space.
