* DeathlyDiesIrae: Discussed in his video on Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet, on how all the various motifs in the music contain a fragment of the Dies Irae in some way, foreshadowing all the death and misery that's going to happen to these characters. He points out that the only character whose theme doesn't contain part of the Dies Irae is Jonathan, who doesn't die, doesn't kill anyone, and in fact rescues Johanna from death at the end of the story, thus setting him apart from the rest of the cast.

* MusicalSpoiler: "The Hidden Message Behind Rey's Theme" sees his analysis of said theme (prior to ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'''s release) accurately deduce an important part of the movie... and that's sadly not a good thing, because said theory was that Rey's theme being strangely related to a massive number of other {{Leitmotif}}s meant that [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants the trilogy's production was such a mess]], Music/JohnWilliams didn't have access to proper plans for the story and had to cobble together a music piece that would work in almost any situation.
* OminousPipeOrgan: "Why Pipe Organs Sound Scary", of course. The video is a full essay, but to give a summary, it boils down to idea association in the early days of cinema. Organs are extremely complex to operate and allow one to effectively become a one-man orchestra, meaning that someone associated with organs is characterized as a solitary, ambitious genius (notably pining ''Film/DrJekyllAndMrHyde1931'' making Henry Jekyll an organist as an early example); and their heavy relation to religious imagery quickly leads to creepy organ music being the "corrupted voice of God".

* VillainSong: While they do get discussed a number of times, there's a special mention to, of all things, "On The Open Road" from ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie''. While there is obviously no real villain in a RoadTripPlot about a father trying to reconnect with his son, Sideways points out that fundamentally, this song hits all the marks of a proper villain song, being all about how Goofy intends to ruin Max's plans for the holidays, making him technically the antagonist of the movie. The one difference is, Goofy doesn't actually know he's doing anything wrong.

* BlatantLies: During the ''Les Mis'' video, released during the rise of the UsefulNotes/BlackLivesMatter movement, Sideways begins by saying that it's appropriate and poignant to do a musical about a revolution because...

It's like they didn't even bother to watch their own movie, because the story behind this soundtrack is ironically familiar.
* IAmSong: Discussed in his video on Film/{{Cats}}, and how all the cats spend time building themselves up only to be swept away by the sheer emotional pain in "Memories".
* IWantSong: Discussed in his video on Film/{{Cats}}, and how effective it can be in eliciting sympathy from an audience- Grizabella's "I Want" Song is what turns the entirety of Cats on its head.
* {{Leitmotif}}: In his video, "How To Evolve A Leitmotif".
* RageBreakingPoint: Reaches it in his video on the Film/{{Cats}} 2019 movie, after realizing that Hooper was allowing his actors to make up the tempo of the musical numbers on the spot.
