* LiveAlbum: The whole album was recorded live, with few overdubs, and is a pretty good reflection of the band's live sound in its early days. In fact, ten of the 14 songs were recorded in a single ten-hour session on February 11, 1963. The other four songs were the "Please Please Me" and "Love Me Do" singles, also recorded live with minimal overdubbing.

* CoverSong: "Anna (Go to Him)", "Chains", "Boys", "Baby It's You", "A Taste of Honey" and "Twist and Shout".

* LampshadedDoubleEntendre: "I Saw Her Standing There". "Well she was just 17/You know what I mean/And the way she looked/was way beyond compare..."
* LyricalDissonance: "Misery," a BreakupSong that sounds just like the SillyLoveSongs that make up most of the album.
* OneWomanSong: "Anna (Go to Him)".
* ShoutOut:
** The bass riff from Music/ChuckBerry's "Talkin' About You" inspired "I Saw Her Standing There".
** "Twist & Shout" is performed on the street during a memorable scene in ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''.
* SillyLoveSongs: Virtually all the songs here fit this trope.
