31!! ''I've Troped You Under My Skin'':
32* AlliterativeTitle: "'''S'''ongs For '''S'''wingin' Lovers".

34--> ''Broke somebody's heart and I fear that it was mine''
35* CoverAlbum: The album has songs by Music/ColePorter, Music/JohnnyMercer and Music/GeorgeGershwin, among others. All Sinatra's albums were this, because he wasn't a songwriter.
36* ExtremeDoormat: "You've Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me"
37--> ''I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen''
38* FaceOnTheCover: Sinatra's face, looking at some lovers. The original album cover in 1956 depicted Sinatra as looking away from them, but in 1957 Capitol realised it was better if he were looking at them, so subsequent copies of the album have him looking at them.

45--> ''Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?''
46--> ''Use your mentality, wake up to reality''
47--> ''But each time that I do just the thought of you''
48--> ''Makes me stop before I begin''
49--> ''Cause I've got you under my skin''
50** "You Make Me Feel So Young".
51--> ''The moment that you speak''
52--> ''I want to run and play hide-and-seek''
53--> ''I want to go and bounce the moon''
54--> ''Just like a big toy balloon''
55--> ''You and I, we are just like a couple of tots''
56--> ''Running along the meadow''
57--> ''Snatching up all those forget to be nots''
58* FullMoonSilhouette: "Old Devil Moon".
59--> ''I look at you and suddenly, something in your eyes I see''
60--> ''Soon begins bewitching me.''

81** "How About You?" name-drops Music/GeorgeGershwin and Creator/JimmyDurante.
82--> ''I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?''
83--> ''(...) And James Durante looks give me a thrill''
84* TakeOurWordForIt: "Too Marvellous for Words"
85--> ''You're just too marvellous, too marvellous for words''
86--> ''Like "glorious", "glamorous" and that old standby "amorous"''.
87--> ''It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words''
88--> ''That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough''.
