* Album Title Drop: In Henrietta;
* All Drummers Are Animals: Mince Fratelli, at least in his appearance.
* Audience Participation Song: The start of Chelsea Dagger is ideal for crowds to sing, not just at Fratellis concerts but at quite a lot of football matches, etc.
* Particularly notable as the goal song for the Chicago Blackhawks to the point where when combined with a loud horn it is many Chicagoans' Most Wonderful Sound
* and Hell Is That Noise for some others.
* Burlesque: in the Chelsea Dagger video.
* Cool Hat: Jon Fratelli has one.
* Country Matters: Used in a few songs.
* Dirty Old Woman / Mrs. Robinson: Shown in a positive light in "Mistress Mabel", less so in "Shameless".
* Even earlier used in "Got Ma Nuts From a Hippie", in an oddly ambivalent light. She may have "made [him] a real man" but it's not clear how he felt about it.
* Getting Crap Past the Radar: At one point in Henrietta, the word "cunt" is used, but it's sung so quickly that most people don't catch it.
* Hooker with a Heart of Gold: "Everybody Knows You Cried Last Night."
* One-Woman Song: Henrietta, Chelsea Dagger, Nina, Stacie Ann, and Lupe Brown.
* Sex as Rite-Of-Passage: "Got Ma Nuts From A Hippy"
* The Stoner: "Vince The Lovable Stoner", Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
* Took a Level In Badass: In "Look Out Sunshine!", the singer seems to have done this and come back to either a Corrupt Corporate Executive from the music industry or a former band member to give them a piece of their mind before they leave town.
* Your Cheating Heart: "Shameless"
