* MrsRobinson:
** Shown in a positive light in "Mistress Mabel", [[DirtyOldWoman less so in "Shameless"]].

* SexAsRiteOfPassage: "Got Ma Nuts From A Hippy"

* TookALevelInBadass: In "Look Out Sunshine!", the singer seems to have done this and come back to either a CorruptCorporateExecutive from the music industry or a former band member to give them a piece of their mind before they leave town.

* YourCheatingHeart: "Shameless"

* AudienceParticipationSong: The start of Chelsea Dagger is ideal for crowds to sing, not just at Fratellis concerts but at quite a lot of football matches, etc.

** In Henrietta;
-->These are crazy times down at Costello Music.
** Happens again in Laughing Gas;
-->In your own sweet time you’ll see your neuroses unwind...

* BreakupSong: Slow, from Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied.

* OneWomanSong: Henrietta, Chelsea Dagger, Nina, Stacie Ann, Rosanna, Mistress Mabel, Jeannie Nitro, and Lupe Brown.

* AlbumTitleDrop: In Henrietta;

** Particularly notable as the goal song for the [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Chicago Blackhawks]] to the point where when combined with a loud horn it is many Chicagoans' SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound
*** and HellIsThatNoise for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3cV688Fi-g some others]].

* DirtyOldWoman / MrsRobinson: Shown in a positive light in "Mistress Mabel", less so in "Shameless".

* [[ExcitedShowTitle Excited Song Title]]: "Look Out Sunshine!" and "Baby Don't You Lie To Me!". Subverted with ''We Need Medicine'', which has an exclamation point on the cover art (which is an homage to the works of Pop artist Creator/RoyLichtenstein), but not in any other official materials. They've also got a Confused Song Title, in "The Gutterati?".
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: At one point in Henrietta, the word "[[CountryMatters cunt]]" is used, but it's sung so quickly that most people don't catch it.
