* LongTitle: Many, but "Prostitution is the World's Oldest Profession (And I, Dear Madame, Am a Professional)" and "Send My Love to the Dance Floor I'll See You in Hell (Hey Mister DJ)" take the cake. The long song titles extend to their tours. Cobra Starship is noted as having taken a "Really Really Really Amazingly Beautiful People's Tour". They called it "The Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking Tour" to give a nod to ''Film/{{Zoolander}}''.

* LongTitle: "Prostitution is the World's Oldest Profession (And I, Dear Madame, Am A Professional) and "Send My Love to the Dancefloor, I'll See You in Hell (Hey, Mr. DJ)". Something of a label signature.

** Ditto for "Hollaback Boy", their cover of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl". While the original features Gwen Stefani challenging the people gossiping about her, Cobra Starship's cover [[CallAndResponseSong acts as a biting response]] calling out Gwen, directly replying to some of her lyrics.

* GagBoobs: Jokes involving Victoria's boobs are abundant in Cobra Cam.tv. Tits ahoy!

* StealthParody: It's debateable that Cobra Starship is a stealth parody of commercial pop and dance music, since their lyrics almost directly poke fun at rich, post-fratboy life styles. They don't take themselves too seriously.

* OneHitWonder: Well, they were. For two years, "Good Girls Go Bad" was the band's only top 40 hit on the Hot 100. However, they came back with "You Make Me Feel" two years later.

* ManInWhite: The video for "The City Is At War" features the entire band dressed in white, and Gabe, in a white suit. [[EdibleAmmunition And then they kill everybody with pies.]]

Hits included the aforementioned "Snakes on a Plane", "Guilty Pleasure", "Good Girls Go Bad", and "You Make Me Feel...". Notable for their music essentially being sarcasm set to a dance beat, and for being ridiculously tall[[note]]Gabe, Alex, and Ryland are all above 6' (6'4", 6'2", and 6'6", respectively,) and Victoria (5'10") and Nate (slightly shorter than Victoria) aren't that far behind. Compare this to the aforementioned Pete Wentz, who comes in at about 5'6", which is also just about the average height of Decaydance musicians.[[/note]]. They were often grouped as part of the "Fueled By Five" (five bands from their label, Fueled By Ramen), which also includes Music/FallOutBoy, Music/PanicAtTheDisco, Music/TheAcademyIs, and Music/GymClassHeroes.

** "Wet, Hot American Summer" and the [[WetHotAmericanSummer eponymous film]].

Originally created in 2006 by Gabe Saporta (vocalist/writer), formerly of the band Midtown, under the Decaydance label owned by [[FallOutBoy Pete Wentz]], this is a band that featured Travis [=McCoy=] of Music/GymClassHeroes, William Beckett of Music/TheAcademyIs, and Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds for the band's first song, "Snakes on a Plane" for the movie...''Film/SnakesOnAPlane''.

** "The Kids Are All Fucked Up" is a play on TheWho's "The Kids Are All Right".

** The title of "The Ballad of Big Poppa and Diamond Girl" is a reference to [[TheNotoriousBIG Biggie]] and LilKim.

** "Being From Jersey Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry" is a play on the quote, "Love means never having to say you're sorry" from ''LoveStory''.
