Added DiffLines:

* In ''Film/KingKong2005'', a lot of the music related to Kong is in a minor key which makes it sound tragic, but it has a noble and even heroic tone. The theme for his and Ann's relationship is also in minor key but sounds gentle and hopeful.

IDK a lot about Sailor Moon, so please correct or fill in any information that's wrong or missing.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': The anime's opening song is a catchy pop tune in C Minor. The lyrics describe the heroic Sailor Moon and her Sailor Scouts, and how they fight evil at night.

Added DiffLines:

* "Hushabye Mountain" from ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang'' is a soothing lullaby but is in a minor key, which makes it somewhat haunting.

* Downplayed in both film adaptations of ''Literature/AnimalFarm''. Old Major's song "[[https://youtu.be/uXniGlaRb5k Beasts of the World]]" is in D Minor in both films. The song is about how animals will rise up and be free from the humans who are oppressing them. The song's tone is bittersweet yet hopeful.

* ''Music/{{AJR}}'': "Bang!" is a bombastic tune in C Sharp Minor. Amusingly, in the "[[https://youtu.be/TA13bQExrh8?si=1r4hXt_OCmNq0ccG Making of Bang!]]" segment from one of their live shows, Ryan describes the bassline of the song as "angry and evil-sounding." However, the song overall has a fun tone that makes it sound perfect for a party. The lyrics seem to be about having fun one last time before leaving your childhood behind and embracing adulthood.



** They did a cover of Music/{{AJR}}'s "Bang!" which is in C Sharp Minor. John's vocals, along with the instrumentation, sound more aggressive and sinister than the original version, but the song still retains its original lyrics about having fun while your youth lasts.



* Believe it or not, Series/SesameStreet did this with the beginnings of the "Slimey to the Moon" season-long story arc! When the Wiggleprise rocket carrying Slimey and 4 other worm astronauts successfully launches, the ending shots of it flying through space are accompanied by a serious and triumphant "The Planets, Mars Suite"-like music score.

** "[[https://youtu.be/ZIniljT5lJI?si=g5p7uD_3Wq0v1fLg Song of the Count]]" is sung by [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Count von Count]] about how he loves to count things. The song is in B Minor and mimics Eastern European folk music, which is fitting for the Count's [[VampireVords Bela Lugosi-esque accent]].
