!! ''Way Down In The Tropes''
* AlliterativeTitle: "'''C'''old '''C'''old Ground" and "'''B'''low Wind '''B'''low".
* AsTheGoodBookSays: "Way Down In The Hole"
--> ''At his command''
--> ''Well you don't have to worry''
--> ''If you hold on to Jesus hand''
--> ''We'll all be safe from Satan when the thunder rolls''
--> ''Just gotta help me keep the devil way down in the hole''
* BeautifulDreamer: "Innocent When You Dream"
--> ''It's such a sad old feeling''
--> ''The fields are soft and green''
--> ''It's memories that I'm stealing''
--> ''But you're innocent when you dream''
* BigApplesauce: "I'll Take New York"
--> ''I want the moon and stars''
--> ''But I'll take NY''
--> ''I'll make it happen''
--> ''Blow out the candles''
--> ''Tear off the wrappin' ''
--> ''And I know someday they'll have to name a street after me''

--> ''I made a golden promise that we would never part''
--> ''I gave my love a locket and then I broke her heart''
--> ''And then I broke her heart''
* CallBack and ContinuityNod: The album title provides a CallBack to the track "Frank's Wild Years" from ''Music/{{Swordfishtrombones}}''. It also carries on the tale about Frank O'Brien. The track "Straight to the Top (Rhumba)" and "Straight to the Top (Vegas)", as well as "Innocent When You Dream (Barroom)" and "Innocent When You Dream (78)" are both SiameseTwinSongs.
* FaceOnTheCover: Waits playing accordion.
* ForDoomTheBellTolls: "More Than Rain" starts off with bell sounds.
* ImportantHaircut: "Telephone Call From Istanbul"
--> ''Will you sell me one of those if I shave my head?''
* InheritedIlliteracyTitle: It's hard to prevent people from mis-mispelling the album title. It doesn't help that Waits previously had a track called "Frank's Wild Years" on ''Music/{{Swordfishtrombones}}'', with the correct punctuation.
* IWantSong: Most of "Franks Wild Years", especially "Innocent When You Dream", except that whenever Frank tries to sing it, someone interrupts him. He doesn't get to sing the whole song until the end, at which point he is just as unfulfilled as he was at the beginning.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: "Temptation"
--> ''Oh, temptation, temptation, I can't resist''
--> ''I know that she is made of smoke but I've lost my way''
--> ''She knows that I am broke''
--> ''So that I must play''
* NonAppearingTitle: However, a track with the name "Frank's Wild Years" appeared on ''Music/{{Swordfishtrombones}} (1983)''.
* OneWordTitle: "Temptation".
* PepTalkSong: "Straight To The Top (Rhumba)"
--> ''I'm going straight to the top''
--> ''Oh yeah, up where the air is fresh and clean''
* RockOpera: It was actually staged as a musical play.
* ShoutOut:
** "Way Down in the Hole" was used as the theme music of ''Series/TheWire''.
** "Temptation" and "Cold, Cold Ground" were used in "Léolo" (1992).
** "I'll Take New York" references Franklin D. Roosevelt Street in New York.
--> ''And I know someday they'll have to name a street after me''
--> ''Right next door to old Franklin D.''
* SiameseTwinSongs: The track "Straight to the Top (Rhumba)" and "Straight to the Top (Vegas)", as well as "Innocent When You Dream (Barroom)" and "Innocent When You Dream (78)" are both SiameseTwinSongs.
* StockSoundEffects: "I'll Be Gone" has sound effects of a rooster crowing mixed in.
* TrainSong: "Train Song"
--> ''It was a train that took me away from here''
--> ''but a train can't bring me home''
--> ''What made my dreams so hollow was standing at the depot''
--> ''With a steeple full of swallows that could never ring the bell''
--> ''And I come ten thousand miles away with not one thing to show''
