* EarWorm: A few more than a few... their stock in trade, basically. But special honors have to go to their LoopedLyrics numbers, such as "Whatcha Say" and "Uh Huh Oh Yeah"... but especially "Mashed Potatoes"!


* PainfulRhyme: Scattered throughout. All part of the AffectionateParody, though... except where covers are involved. But in that case, it's basically considered sacrilege not to follow the original source material, anyway.

* MagnumOpus: Most fans like to divide it into two eras: ''Beat It Up!'' is this for their initial covers/originals act, and ''Wishing Street'' is this for an era which emphasized individualism and originality.

* NeedsMoreLove: ''In Step with The Kaisers'' is the most overlooked album of theirs, though this is mostly due to a lack of availability than anything else. It is the only album not released on CD, after all.



* ToughActToFollow: Not the group itself, but Kaiser Matt (1), whose specific guitar style was a huge cornerstone of the group's early sound, upon his departure. Like stated previously, they were able to adapt, and even got better if nothing else.

** Originals: "Whatcha Say",
"Don't You Worry".Worry", "She's Only Doggin' Round", "That's My Girl", "Wishing Street"...
* BrokenBase: A few hardcore old school beat fanatics didn't take well to the fact that ''Wishing Street'' would be released only on compact disc.
* CoveredUp: They do such a good job of "Kaiser-izing" most covers that a few, particularly the more obscure ones, are often mistaken for originals.

* GrowingTheBeard: With an LP and a few [=EP=]s to their credit already, ''Beat It Up!'' is considered where they finally came into their own as recording artists. ''Wishing Street'' is considered to be this as far as original compositions go.

* HeartwarmingMoments: Not really what they're known for, but there are a few...
** "Though this cold, dark, fickle world has let you down / Life goes on, like people always say... / Don't you worry / you'll believe in love again someday."
** Their final album, and as such, the group itself, ends on a contemplative note with the somber instrumental "Little Bird". Its chorus ends with an uplifting cadence; sort of a "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when" vibe. A love letter to their loyal fans who stuck around 'till the end.

** "Watch Your Step". It (Bobby Parker's original recording, that is) was the inspiration for Music/TheBeatles' "I Feel Fine", after all.
