Renamed to Sexy Sweater Girl. "Sweaters exist" is not a trope.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Much like the RollingStones' "Nanker Phelge" numbers, the band's first two albums contain several compositions credited to the whole band under the pseudonym "Juke Joint Jimmy", as well as a solo Geils instrumental and Wolf/Geils' classic "Hard Drivin' Man" on the first album. While many Wolf/Justman songs appear on these albums, ''Bloodshot'' was their first album as the band's exclusive songwriters.

Nice Hat is no longer a trope


* LoveTriangle: "Love Stinks"
* LyricalColdOpen: "Freeze Frame"
* MyGirlIsNotASlut: "Centerfold" - the singer/protaganist of the song is throwing a massive hissy fit over the fact that a girl he knew in 'high school' is now a Magazine/{{Playboy}} model.

to:

* LoveTriangle: "Love Stinks"
Stinks" states that "You love her, but she loves him, and he loves somebody else."
* LyricalColdOpen: "Freeze Frame"
Frame" starts with a TitleDrop before a few camera sounds and the synthesizers kick in.
* MyGirlIsNotASlut: "Centerfold" - the singer/protaganist singer/protagonist of the song is throwing a massive hissy fit over the fact that a girl he knew in 'high school' is now a Magazine/{{Playboy}} model.



* NiceHat: Bassist Danny Klein is often wearing one, including in the above image.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSyntax: In "Centerfold", the line "Oh no, I can't deny it. Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it." Which could either mean "buy it" as in he has to accept that his pure school crush is now a nude model, or that he's going to purchase a copy of the magazine she's in.

* TheBandMinusTheFace: Soldiered on without Peter Wolf. Not the same, although they did do the ''Film/FrightNight1985'' theme song.

to:

* TheBandMinusTheFace: Soldiered They soldiered on without for one last studio album after Peter Wolf.Wolf left, with Seth Justman (who by that point was producing as well doing most of the songwriting) taking over as frontman. Not the same, although they did do the ''Film/FrightNight1985'' theme song.

* IntercourseWithYou: "Give It to Me"

to:

* IntercourseWithYou: "Give It it to Me"


Added DiffLines:

* SongStyleShift: "Give it to Me" starts out as a {{Reggae}}-influenced shuffle, then abruptly turns into HardRock at the bridge, then speeds up as the band trades solos, then the drum-dominated closing section with the band chanting in the background sounds more like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkanoo junkanoo]] music than anything else.

* HoldTheUnsolicitedIngredient: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XazaOWrnJ5o "No Anchovies, Please"]] is all about this. Well, sort of. Eating anchovies caused a woman to get kidnapped and turned into a bowling ball, so the SpoofAesop is to request no anchovies on pizza. Peter Wolf later plays this straight while nodding to the aforementioned bit on the "Love Rap" prelude to "Love Stinks" on their live album ''Showtime!'', depicting [[Literature/TheBible Adam]] as TheStoner in the Garden of Eden, craving a pizza with increasingly eccentric toppings...
-->'''Wolf:''' He put on ''peanut butter!'' He even put on ''tuna fish!'' '''''BUT...nooooo...'''''
-->'''Wolf and Audience: ''...aaaaanchovies, PLEASE!'''''


Added DiffLines:

* SpoofAesop: "No Anchovies, Please": If you eat anchovies, you will be kidnapped and turned into a bowling ball.
