23	!!''Handle these tropes with care'':
24	* AlienAbduction: Possible explanation for what happened to the title character at the end of "Maxine".
25	* BreakUpSong: "Congratulations".
26	* EmptyChairMemorial: The music video for "End of the Line" cuts to an empty rocking chair with Roy Orbison's guitar lying in it during his stanza, as he had died before shooting the video.
27	* FaceOnTheCover: All five band members in a black-and-white photo.
28	* FemmeFatale: The woman who was sung about in "Last Night".
29	-->''I asked her to marry me.''
30	-->''She smiled and pulled out a knife.''
31	-->''"The fun is just beginning," she says.''
32	-->''"It's your money or your life."''
33	* IntercourseWithYou: "Dirty World", according to WordOfGod[[invoked]], is an AffectionateParody of Music/{{Prince}}. Which means you get Music/BobDylan singing lines like
34	-->''You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me\
35	[[UnusualEuphemism If you need your oil changed I'll do it for you free]]\
36	Oh baby, the pleasure be all mine\
37	If you let me drive your pickup truck and park it where the sun don't shine''
38	* InTheStyleOf: "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" was Music/BobDylan's attempt at writing a Music/BruceSpringsteen song.
39	* {{Joisey}}: "Tweeter and the Monkey Man", which also gives us examples of...
40	** MurderBallad: fused with surreal pulp in a manner reminiscent of Creator/QuentinTarantino.
41	** NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: "Jan had told him many times, 'It was * you* to * me* who taught in Jersey everything's legal as long as you don't get caught"
42	** AffectionateParody of Music/BruceSpringsteen. Nearly every other line has a reference to one of his songs, and the scenario itself is a stew of every trope in his ouvre.
43	** NoNameGiven: The undercover cop in "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" is always referred to as "The undercover cop".
44	** ShootTheTV: The monkey man at the end. Apparently he objected to his portrayal in the news coverage.
45	** SoleSurvivor: Implied to be the fate of the Monkey Man.
46	** TransTribulations: Tweeter. Notable that it's taken seriously, and portrayed non-sexually.
47	* ListSong: Near the end of "Dirty World":
48	-->''(He loves your) electric dumplings''
49	-->''(He loves your) red bell peppers''
50	-->''(He loves your) fuel injection''
51	-->''(He loves your) service charge''
52	-->''(He loves your) five-speed gearbox''
53	-->''(He loves your) long endurance''
54	-->''(He loves your) quest for junk food''
55	-->''(He loves your) big refrigerator''
56	-->''(He loves your) trembling wilbury''
57	-->''(He loves your) marble earrings''
58	-->''(He loves your) porky curtains''
59	-->''(He loves your) power steering''
60	-->''(He loves your) bottled water''
61	-->''(He loves your) parts and service''
62	* OneWomanSong: "Maxine".
63	* OneWordTitle: "Rattled", "Congratulations", and "Margarita".
64	* PrecisionFStrike: In "Dirty World":
65	-->''Dirty world, dirty world, it's a f--king dirty world.''
66	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "MAR...GA...RI...TA!"
67	* RecordProducer: Jeff Lynne, George Harrison
68	* TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: "Last Night"
69	* TitleOnlyChorus: "Margarita".
