* TheBible contains a rather strange example at the end of Deuteronomy- Moses' final lesson to Israel before his death is to teach them a national anthem: a song spelling out the future of Israel, complete with the fact that they will grow rebellious and turn away from God, and that this apostasy will spell disaster for their descendents, ultimately leading to their scatter and the destruction of all but a remnant. Also, Psalm 51.

Compare VillainSong, which are almost always of this type (when they aren't {{IWantSong}}s). See also {{Leitmotif}} for an instrumental version. ImageSong is when it doesn't appear in the actual show, but rather in AllThereInTheManual extras. See IAmBecomingSong for when a character explains his or her ''new'' motivations or self.
