- Ear Worm: "Wagon Wheel." "Headed down South to the land of the pines, thumbing my way into North Caroline..." Rock me, Mama!
- Lyrical Dissonance: O.C.M.S. as a surprising number of songs with upbeat tunes tend to have depressing lyrics and vice versa. Examples:
- "Bootlegger's boy" is about a moonshiner who is turned outlaw after killing a prospective customer in a brawl.
- "Brave Boys" is another cheery little ditty about a group of miners killed in a cave-in.
