** ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'': The song "Hakuna Matata" popularized the phrase (also the TropeNamer) , where Timon and Pumbaa tell Simba, who has just run away from his responsibilities and his life, that he doesn't need to worry about the past, because a carefree existence is much less trouble. However, this mentality ends up [[DeconstructedTrope becoming an obstacle that Simba must throw off]] before he can [[spoiler:start serving the kingdom and rescue it from Scar, who never outgrows this attitude and tries to take the benefits of being king without taking any of the responsibility that goes along with the job. When both Simba and Scar shun this responsibility, the kingdom suffers greatly from Scar's neglectful approach. It's only when Simba grows and learns to take responsibility that prosperity returns]]. In fact, the song shows Simba being ''apathetically cynical'' ("Sometimes, bad things happen and there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry?").

* "Living Dead" from ''Theatre/JasperInDeadland'' is about all the spirits in Deadland partying and having fun, due to the fact that they've already lost everything except for their souls.

* Music/MartinaMcBride's "Happy Girl" is about formerly feeling down all the time, but living happily after realizing that did no good and approaching life with a loving and optimistic outlook instead.
