*''SaturdayNightLive'' parodied this trope twice:
**On the LeBron James/Kanye West episode (the first episode of season 33) had the Digital Short, "Iran So Far," which featured Fred Armisen as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a red dress on top of a piano.
**On the Sigourney Weaver/The Ting Tings episode (from season 35), Weaver plays a lounge singer who invokes this trope, but ends up yelling at the piano player (played by Bobby Moynihan) when she starts freaking out about how high up she is ([[spoiler: The piano player thinks she's kidding, until she ends up falling 60 feet and the piano player immediately notices]]).
