* CulturalPosturing: Downplayed, as Alina has said that being from New Jersey is not a huge part of her life outside the musical sphere, but she can generally be relied upon to stick up for a New Jersey act whenever they're being discussed on the show.
* CurbStompBattle: Some match-ups are particularly one-sided; while the hosts originally tried to avoid it, Todd eventually "gave up" and matched songs regardless of whether or not both sides had a fair chance of victory. (A few {{Dark Horse Victor|y}}ies have slipped through anyway.) Some of the winners by the biggest margins are "Superstition," "Another One Bites the Dust," and "Hollaback Girl," though in the latter case it's generally seen as a repudiation of the other candidate, "My Humps."



* OneHitWonder: "She's So High" vs. "Teenage Dirtbag" is so far the only battle of the one-hit wonders on the show, athlough "Ice Ice Baby" vs. "U Can't Touch This", "867-5309 (Jenny)" vs. "Centerfold", "Wild Thing" vs. "Louie Louie", and "Stay (I Missed You)" vs. "Torn" are borderline cases.

Added DiffLines:

* SelfDeprecation: While both hosts are willing to make themselves the butt of a joke, Alina is more likely to mock her own snobbish and hipster-y musical tastes, a contrarian streak to her opinions, and generally miserable childhood over the course of a given episode.

! This podcast provides examples of:
* ChristmasEpisode: Todd and Dany pitted [[ChristmasSongs "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" against "Frosty the Snowman"]] for Episode 27 in honor of the holiday season.
* OncePerEpisode:
** Towards the end of the episode, the hosts discuss three hypothetical questions relating to the songs, partly for fun, but also to try and narrow down their choices in matchups where one or the other remains undecided as to which they prefer:
*** If one of the two songs were to be deleted from history, which would you save? This relates to the historical impact of the songs.
*** If you could be a fly on the wall and witness the entire process of the song being composed and recorded, including the music video in some instances, which would you pick? This often relates to which song has more unique elements or a more interesting story behind it.
*** If Creator/WilliamShatner were to record a cover of only one of the two songs, which would you pick? This mostly started as a way of invoking Shatner's infamous style of delivery for humour, but also allows reflection on the lyrics; they tend to favour songs whose lyrics better suit Shatner's actorly delivery.
** Dany has referenced the fact that he says "How dare you!" and "In the year of our lord 20##" an average of once per episode.
* PopularityPolynomial[[invoked]]: This is discussed in a couple episodes featuring acts that were big in the [='60s=] like The Beach Boys and Tina Turner, where Todd talks about how these bands and artists' hitmaking status dried up in the [='70s=], only for them to get at least one major hit in the next decade thanks to Boomer nostalgia.
* SpecialGuest:
** ''Billboard'' magazine editor Andrew Unterberger is featured in Episode 32.
** Episode 39 features screenwriter C. Robert Cargill.
