* InTheStyleOf: "You Belong to Me" sounds a great deal like Music/TheRollingStones around the time of ''Music/{{Aftermath}}''. Also, the melody bears more than a passing resemblance to the Stones' "The Last Time".
* LastNoteNightmare: "Night Rally" is ominous throughout -- but at the end, Costello starts chanting the title over and over and some sort of weird, high-pitched warbling sound is added the mix. And then the song cuts off suddenly, just like Music/TheBeatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" from ''Music/AbbeyRoad''. For added nightmarishness, "Night Rally" was the last track on the original vinyl album's British pressing.

''Knowing you with him is driving me crazy.''\\
''Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely,''\\
''But I always disconnect it in time.''
* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: "Pump It Up", inspired by what many of the performers got up to during the Stiff Records tour of which Costello and the Attractions were a part.

** Costello on the cover is posed like David Hemmings in ''Film/BlowUp''.
** ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' had a Faith-centric episode called "This Year's Girl".
* TitleDrop[=/=]TitleTrack: Neither trope is played straight, but you get the album title if you cross the song title "This Year's Girl" with the line "Capital punishment, she's '''last year's model'''", from "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea".

* BitingTheHandHumor: Costello's stated intent on "Radio Radio".
-->''I wanna bite the hand that feeds me.''\\
''I wanna bite that hand so badly.''\\
''I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.''
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Inevitably comes to mind when hearing "The Beat", between its title and lines like:
-->''On the beat, on the beat.''\\
//Till a man comes along and he says,''\\
''"Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?''\\
''Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ."''

-->''I don't like those other guys looking at your curves''\\
''I don't like you walking 'round with physical jerks''\\
''Everything they say and do is getting on my nerves''\\
''Soon the will be lucky to be picking up the perks.''
* InTheStyleOf: "You Belong to Me" sounds a great deal like Music/TheRollingStones around the time of ''Music/{{Aftermath}}''.
* OneWomanSong: "This Year's Girl"
* ProtestSong: "Night Rally" is a condemnation of the fascist rallies that were starting to sweep parts of Britain. Its replacement on the initial US pressing, "Radio Radio", takes on media manipulation.
