* In ''Series/{{Glee}}'' this is how Jesse seduces Rachel when they first meet. [[spoiler: And then again when Jesse returns to [=McKinley=].]]
** ''Series/{{Glee}}'' loves this trope, especially with Rachel. Two other examples include Mercedes and Rachel resolving a feud while singing [[Theatre/{{Rent}} "Take Me or Leave Me"]], and Blaine solidifying his foray into bisexuality with Rachel with "Don't You Want Me."
*** Blaine does it again, this time with Kurt - their rampant flirtation solidifies with "Baby, It's Cold Outside," and "Candles", which takes place right after their RelationshipUpgrade, is an entire song of them staring dopily and dreamily into each others' eyes like they can't believe they've just found each other.
*** Blaine even [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on the Candles duet; right before TheBigDamnKiss he flat out tells Kurt that the duet would be an excuse to spend more time with him.
