* Trope is somewhat justified, in that many of the roots of jazz and R&B were musicians playing in brothels and burlesque houses. The musicians were supposed to play music to, ahem, [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean enhance the experience]]. Many jazz musician's nicknames were often euphemisms, like [[ICallHimMisterHappy Jelly Roll]] Morton, which reflected their roots as brothel musicians.

* Here's this gem from the [=ESBR's=] description of [[TraumaCenter Trauma Team]]: Female patients are asked to explain their symptoms, then lift up their shirts for closer inspection. The scene contains no nudity, but a saxophone can be heard playing in the background as a male doctor makes the following remarks: "Can she really be that thin?," "dayum!," and—after doctor's heart rate increases—"It's only natural . . . I'm a straight male."

* Also happens in the ''StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy", where the Doctor programs himself to randomly daydream. Given that the Doctor's programming would make him GenreSavvy as hell about this kind of information, it's perfectly logical that an ''extremely'' exaggerated version of this trope plays when he slips into a daydream about Seven of Nine, B'Elanna, and Janeway all shamelessly flirting with him.
