28	!! Sweet and Tender Tropes:
29	* CoversAlwaysLie: The bizarre clock doesn't provide any helpful answer when the person will be back from lunch? It's not even clear whether it's actually in the middle of the afternoon.
30	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The album cover.
31	* EpicRocking: ''Every single song.''
32	* IconicOutfit: "Hat and Beard", which were Thelonious Monk's visual trademarks.
33	* LetsDuet: "Something Sweet, Something Tender" is a duet between Richard Davis on bass and Dolphy on bass clarinet.
34	* LighterAndSofter: "Something Sweet, Something Tender"
35	* MundaneMadeAwesome: For such a casual album title it's surely an impressive and exciting piece of art.
36	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: "Hat and Beard" was inspired by bearded hat wearer Thelonious Monk and "Gazzelloni" by flautist Severino Gazzelloni.
37	* ShoutOut: Music/FrankZappa's "The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue" from ''Music/WeaselsRippedMyFlesh'' is a {{Homage}} to Dolphy, who was also listed in Zappa's influences list in the sleeve notes of his album ''Music/FreakOut'' (1966). Zappa also namedrops ''Out to Lunch'' in the lyrics of "Oh No" on ''Weasels Ripped My Flesh''.
38	--> ''I think you're probably out to lunch''.
39	* TitleTrack: "Out to Lunch".
