14!Some Other Tropers' Parade
15* AlbumFiller: "Roll to Me" and "Tell Her This" are both the shortest songs on Twisted.
16* BadToTheBone: "Roll to Me" is the quintessential rom-com theme, at least according to Creator/SethMacFarlane.
17* ConceptAlbum: "Can You Do Me Any Good?" is one about [[RealLifewritesThePlot the band loosing popularity.]]
18* GenderBlenderName: Ashely Shore is indeed, a boy.
19* MinisculeRocking: "Roll to Me" is only 2:12.
20* NothingExcitingEverHappensHere: Pretty much the point of "Nothing Ever Happens".
21* SillyLoveSongs: "Roll to Me" is one of the biggest examples of this trope.
22* SiameseTwinSongs: "Sense Sickness" / "The Difference Is"
23* VisualPun: The music video for "Roll to Me" involves the band members' faces pasted on baby rollers.
24* WhamLine: "Nothing Ever Happens" for nearly the entire song comes across as a fairly low key series of complaints about a boring town with occasional digs at its complacent inhabitants. Then in the last verse we get this:
25-->''They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock and we'll all go along like before...''
