I think the answer to the 3rd is...tritones. But I can't quite explain it.

Tritone is a musical interval.
commomplace = trite, mostly commonplace = trit,+ ones.

all I can come up with to explain "devilish" is that tritone is defined as "a dissonant musical interval.......blah,blah". Diss being a word for Hell means a tritone is a hellish/devilish musical interval. there you go.

In music, an interval composed of three whole steps or “tones”—that is, an augmented fourth, as between the fourth and seventh tones of a scale. The older harmonists regarded this interval, even when only suggested, as peculiarly objectionable, whence the proverb “mi contra fa diabolus est.” See mi

Also if one googles The Devil's Music it states that it relies heavily on tritones.
