Credits Gag | |
| The Queen Is Dead (Music) / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: According to the liner notes, the backing vocals to "Bigmouth Strikes Again" are performed by Ann Coates. In reality, those vocals were Morrissey's own voice sped up, and "Ann Coates" is a pun on Ancoats, a district of Manchester. | |

Fake-Out Fade-Out: Inverted with "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others", where the song fades out rapidly and then fades slowly back in at the beginning of the song. | |

Post-Punk | |
| The Queen Is Dead (Music) / int_8bb8827 | comment |
Post-Punk: While the band always had light shades of this in their music, the opening Title Track fully indulges in it, featuring blaring guitars and thudding, cavernous drums that wouldn't be out of place next to the likes of "Atrocity Exhibition". | |

Take That! | |
| The Queen Is Dead (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: The album title and Title Track are less-than-subtle jabs at the Royal Family, based in Morrisey's own anti-royalist politics. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| The Queen Is Dead (Music) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: "The Queen Is Dead" features the lyric "Eh, I know you, and you can't sing/That's nothing, you should hear me play the piano".note Morrissey later fulfilled his threat on "Death of a Disco Dancer" on later album Strangeways, Here We Come. | |
