* In ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals,'' Paul gets annoyed at everyone in Hatchetfield singing "La Di Da Da Day," which eventually progresses to outright fear as they get progressively more pushy for him to join them. He's quite justified to be unnerved, as it's later revealed all the singing is the result of an alien infection.

** The show is very musical, much to the chagrin of Oscar the Grouch, although he does have his own songs like "I Love Trash". In the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover "We Are Family", he hates the titular song and thinks it TastesLikeDiabetes.

* ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors''. Seymour and Audrey are about to start singing the sappy love song "Suddenly Seymour" when an executive from a botany company interrupts, complaining about all the singing they do.

* In the two-part premiere of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', when the Mane Six are trapped in a dark forest filled with terrifying faces in the trees, Pinkie Pie begins to sing an upbeat song about laughing at your fears. Her friends are (initially) not pleased.

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship'' has Trixie and Sunset witness a recording of events that played out a few minutes ago to regain the memories they lost, which includes Wallflower Blush's musical number. It isn't long before Trixie opts to skip it, even remarking how long it is as it's fast-forwarded to the important bits.

* In ''ComicBook/TheMuppetShowComicBook'' #6, when the blues-singing frog Short-Sighted Billy Silverfish ([[spoiler: actually Kermit]]) is doing a ThatRemindsMeOfASong set-up he says "Oh, but you don't want to hear about that", and Skeeter starts to agree, only for him to react as though she's encouraging him to sing. Once the song is over he says "people don't seem to write songs like that any more", and Skeeter starts to reply "Thank goodness" before stopping herself.
