Some Other Tropers' Parade
- Album Filler: "Roll to Me" and "Tell Her This" are both the shortest songs on Twisted.
- Bad to the Bone: "Roll to Me" is the quintessential rom-com theme, at least according to Seth MacFarlane.
- Concept Album: "Can You Do Me Any Good?" is one about the band loosing popularity.
- Gender-Blender Name: Ashely Shore is indeed, a boy.
- Miniscule Rocking: "Roll to Me" is only 2:12.
- Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: Pretty much the point of "Nothing Ever Happens".
- Silly Love Songs: "Roll to Me" is one of the biggest examples of this trope.
- Siamese Twin Songs: "Sense Sickness" / "The Difference Is"
- Visual Pun: The music video for "Roll to Me" involves the band members' faces pasted on baby rollers.
- Wham Line: "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:They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock and we'll all go along like before...
- Word Salad Lyrics: "Nothing Ever Happens".
