!Tropes in Captain Jack and their music are:

*ActorAllusion: Franky G was enlisted in the US Military and was positioned in Germany. He became a DJ there and this was how he formed the group. This became his primary theme.
*ArsonMurderAndJaywalking
**In the song “Say Captain Say Wot” this lyric in the first verse goes, “When you feel like a star, want a drink at the bar, but you can't get far, nobody knows who you are”
**In “Sir Yes Sir” Captain Jack says “All of you get on the floor, or should I kick your ass some more, scream and shout and call my name, or do you wanna feel the pain?”
*AudienceParticipationSong: Their music was in the format of the audience following Captain Jack’s commands.
*BoastfulRap: In “Little Boy” Captain Jack lays down how he is not a “little” boy and to continue dancing in his command.
*CoverSong: "In The Army Now" was a cover of the same song by [[Music/StatusQuo Status Quo]], released in 2017.
*EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Franky Gee was notably thinner in the first couple of music videos, used to rap sounding like soldier commands. He was similar to a CoolOldGuy. He also used to slip in curse words.
*SirSwearsALot: Captain Jack slipped in swearing sprees at random. At the time, it was unlikely for a song in this style to contain any swearing outside of “ass” or “damn”.
*ShoutOut:
**In the self-titled song, Captain Jack says “Bring me back to the railroad track!” Which is a reference to the song “Choo Choo Ch'Boogie” by Creator/LouisJourdan.
*TheOtherDarrin: Bruce Lucy replaced Franky Gee as Captain Jack in 2012 due to his death.
*ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Our Captain and his crew are military personnel, but they only seem to party while boasting their status.
