* IrrelevantActOpener: "Heaven in Her Lips," while a lovely song, is also one of two songs in the series that give ''no'' insight into what's going on with the main characters. It's there to give Paige and Chelsey a moment to themselves, and to justify some exposition in the video description. The other song that doesn't say anything about the characters, "Stay," is there to drive the plot. [[spoiler:Specifically, it is directly after this song that Peter tries to kiss Balthazar]].

* TheMusical: If {{Films/Once}} counts as a musical, ''Lovely Little Losers'' probably should too. Sixteen of the approximately 80 videos in the series are devoted to songs that the characters wrote and performed themselves, whose lyrics relate (sometimes overtly, sometimes obliquely) to what's happening in the plot. These aren't extras, either; all but one of the song videos is in the official video line-up, and if you skip them, you'll miss a good chunk of what's going on.
