* RefrainFromAssuming: For people who know Dick Dale mostly for "Misirlou" and "Let's Go Trippin'": this album is not just a collection of instrumentals. Several tracks are songs and sometimes sound closer to typical pop and doowop songs of that era. Also, "Misirlou Twist" is a different arrangement than the more famous "Misirlou".

!! Let's Go Tropin'!
* AlliterativeTitle: "'''S'''hake 'N' '''S'''tomp".
* CoverVersion: "Sloop John B" and "Misirlou" are traditionals.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: For people who know Dale mostly as a SurfRock artist this album can sometimes sound a bit odd. Some songs are closer to typical doowop and pop music. "Sloop John B" even has a strings arrangement!
* GriefSong: "Death Of A Gremmie".
* {{Instrumental}}: "Surf Beat", "Take It Off", "Misirlou Twist", "Death of A Gremmie", "Shake 'N' Stomp" and "Let's Go Trippin'". The bonus tracks "Del-Tone Rock", "Jungle Fever", "Misirlou", "Eight Till Midnight" and "A Run For Life" too.
* LiveAlbum: Most of the material is recorded live, with only "Misirlou Twist" and "Let's Go Trippin'" as exceptions.
* NoisyNature: "Jungle Fever" evokes this trope, with the band members imitating a kookaburra.
* OneManSong: "Peppermint Man".
* OneWomanSong: "Fanny Mae".
* PopCulturalOsmosis: "Misirlou" nowadays makes people think more of Creator/QuentinTarantino than surf music.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: The start of "Let's Go Trippin'".
* RefrainFromAssuming: For people who know Dick Dale mostly for "Misirlou" and "Let's Go Trippin'": this album is not just a collection of instrumentals. Several tracks are songs and sometimes sound closer to typical pop and doowop songs of that era. Also, "Misirlou Twist" is a different arrangement than the more famous "Misirlou".
* RepurposedPopSong: "Surfing Drums" is an earlier version of "Jungle Fever", with lyrics near the end and without the jungle noises that would be added later.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: "Jungle Fever" has the band members imitate the sound of a kookaburra, which always turns up on the soundtrack in movies taking place in the jungle.
* SequelSong: "Misirlou" was followed by a Twist version called "Misirlou Twist", which has strings!
* ShoutOut:
** "Let's Go Trippin'" would be covered by The Lively Ones in 1963, as well as Music/TheBeachBoys on their albums ''Music/SurfinUSA'' and ''Music/BeachBoysConcert''. The original by Dick Dale was also used as the theme of Creator/JohnPeel's radio show "Home Truths".
** "Misirlou" would be used as the theme song of ''Film/PulpFiction'', increasing its notability worldwide.
* SillyLoveSongs: "Night Owl", "Fanny Mae", "Peppermint Man", "Love Dovey". The bonus track "Lovin' On My Brain".
* SingerNameDrop: "Del-Tone Rock".
* SurfRock: This is often called the album that made the genre popular. However, some tracks don't remotedly sound like surf rock at all, such as "Sloop John B.", which has a string arrangement, and "Night Owl" which sounds like a traditional doowop song.
