* SeriousBusiness: Chas & Dave are nearly always remembered as a "novelty" band with reasons for this including "Gertcha", "Sideboard Song", lyrical content and the style of musical arrangement. However, Chas Hodges, who had played with JerryLeeLewis and HeadsHandsAndFeet amongst others, and Dave Peacock, who had played with Magna Carta and Dave Edmunds amongst others, are clearly very competent musicians and songwriters.

* [[ADayInTheLimelight A Song In The Limelight]]: "Give It Some Stick, Mick" for drummer Mick Burt.
* AntiLoveSong: "Aint No Pleasing You"
* LesserStar: Dave Peacock. Casual punters at their gigs often say "That Chas knows how to write songs".
* MetaFiction: "Strummin'", "It's Only A B-Side"
* MotorMouth: "Rabbit" parodies this and the vocal arrangement reflects this.
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Although the Rockney sound is unmistakable, their albums, specifically on "Mustn't Grumble", incorporate R&B (Behave Yourself), Funk (Turn That Noise Down), Rock & Roll (That's What It's All About), Ballads (Flying), 30s Pop (Word From Anne) and Classical (Give It Gavotte).
* NonAppearingTitle: by the crumb of its drum: "Give It Some Stick, Mick", although the refrain is "''Oi Mick,''" "'''''What'''''?", "''[[RefrainFromAssuming Give it some stick!]]''"
* OdeToSobriety: "The Banging In Your Head"
* RecordProducer: Tony Ashton of AshtonGardnerAndDyke produced "Rockney", "Don't Give A Monkeys" and "Live At Abbey Road" for EMI. After this, and for the Rockney line of albums, they started producing their own material again. There's a noted change in sound.
* RedOniBlueOni: Chas is the bubbly talker and Dave is the humbly walker.
* SelfBackingVocalist: In studio they multi-tracked their own voices to create a layered sound, and most notably in the verses, which remains pretty unique.
* SeriousBusiness: Chas & Dave are nearly always remembered as a "novelty" band with reasons for this including "Gertcha", "Sideboard Song", lyrical content and the style of musical arrangement. However, Chas Hodges, who had played with JerryLeeLewis and HeadsHandsAndFeet amongst others, and Dave Peacock, who had played with Magna Carta and Dave Edmunds amongst others, are clearly very competent musicians and songwriters.
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Dave Peacock on "Strummin'", (parts of) "Beer Belly", "Wallop" (2nd and 4th verses) amongst others.
* VocalTagTeam: Perhaps one of the most well known examples, and especially in regards to "Rabbit", their layered vocal arrangements are unique.
