{{tropelist}}
* [[Show Within a Show|Film within a Film]]: There is ''another'' short film entitled "Multiple Sidosis" completely embedded within the larger film, which is made in the course of the outer film.
* [[Highlighted Text]]: The bit of the reel-to-reel recorder's instruction manual which inspires Sid is emphasized in this way.
* [[Hollywood Giftwrap]]: Averted. The gifts under the tree all appear to be conventionally wrapped, and Sid tears the wrapping off his biggest gift.
* [[Music Video]]
* [[Name's the Same]]: That "SNL" at the beginning isn't for ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.
* [[Other Common Music Video Concepts]]: Even though he lacks an actual studio, this is very much an "In The Studio" video.
* [[Overcrank]]: The audio version is done to create pair of ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks (animation)|Alvin and the Chipmunks]]''-style backing vocals at one point.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Sid frequently changes his "look" when there are multiple similar instances of him on the screen, by combing his hair differently, wearing glasses, or putting on a hat. (Or [[Mickey Mouse]] ears and whiskers.)
* [[Performance Video]]
* [[Self-Backing Vocalist|Self-Backing Instrumentalist and Vocalist]]: Sid plays all the instruments and sings all the vocal parts.
* [[Short Film]]: Including the credits at the start, it's less than nine and a half minutes long.
* [[Split Screen]]: Up to a dozen separate images at one time appear on the screen; the method involved appears very simple and crude, being basically multiple exposures with masks around each individual shot.
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: Everything about this short film practically ''screams'' "1970".
