* HiddenTrack: On ''Fever To Tell'', "Poor Song" is hidden about a minute after the end of "Modern Romance", the last listed song. Digital editions just give "Poor Song" its own track.

Added DiffLines:

* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: "Dudley" is a notable offender in that several of the lines don't even attempt to fit the melody, e.g. "If you can't even cope '''wi-i-iiith''' it..."


Added DiffLines:

* AudienceParticipation: The video for "Cheated Hearts" features the band performing as well as numerous clips of fans from all over the world, dressed up as the band and also lip-syncing to the song.

The band itself has an odd PowerTrio setup, with each member's stage persona fitting a different stereotype. This has been commented on by the band themselves a few times. In particular Karen O is said to be [[MeanCharacterNiceActor much more subdued than her stage persona]], to the surprise of many fans.
