History Main / ThisIsYourSong

* ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' uses this as well, although the song is somewhat different from the one in the comics. (The lyrics are still mostly "Ramona" over and over again, though.) [[spoiler:When he realizes he truly does love Ramona and goes to save her from Gideon, it plays again... but this time with real lyrics and being sung by Music/{{Beck}}.]]

* Inversion: Petula Clark's "This Is My Song," from Charles Chaplin's film ''A Countess In Hong Kong''.

* Done on ''TheSimpsons'' over and over again:

* Elton John's "Your Song", which is the TropeNamer and part of which is the current page quote.

That [[TropeNamer this is your song]]\\

While you're in the world."''

"Your Song" by Music/EltonJohn is the TropeNamer. Can overlap with ThisIsASong (if the singer explicitly references the fact that the song is for the recipient, in-song).

Now you're in the world!"''

->''And you can tell everybody\\

Now you're in the world!''

* Played with by "This Ain't No Love Song" by Trace Adkins, in which the narrator [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial patently denies]] he has a crush and is singing about her.

* This happens in ''ForgettingSarahMarshall'', with the IntercourseWithYou song "Inside of You," complete with, ah, suggestive dance sequence.

"Your Song" by EltonJohn is the TropeNamer. Can overlap with ThisIsASong (if the singer explicitly references the fact that the song is for the recipient, in-song).

* The Ginny/Cho Chang song from ''AVeryPotterMusical''.
** The joke is that the song is for Cho, but Harry practices on Ginny. It obviously works better using Ginny's name, because all the lyrics rhyme with her name, and not Cho's.

-->-- '''EltonJohn''', "Your Song"

* Throughout ''{{RENT}}'', Roger tries to write "his song." Near the end, he finally composes "Your Eyes" for Mimi.

** '''Homer:''' What if I sing to you? [[AnimalHouse ''I gave my love a chicken, it had no bones'']]... Mmmmmm... chicken.

* ScottPilgrim writes one for Ramona in volume 2.

** Siblings rather than romance, but there's also Bart's song "Lisa it's your Birthday," written & performed with assistance by [[strike:MichaelJackson]] Leon Kompowski.

* Nick writing "Lady L" for Lindsey in ''FreaksAndGeeks''.
* Deconstructed in the ''{{Glee}}'' episode "Ballad". Played straighter when Ryder sings to "Katie."

* On ''{{Cheers}}'' Woody didn't know what he could get Kelly (his UptownGirl girlfriend) for her birthday. Frasier suggests something "from the heart," so he wrote her a song. He sang it for her at her party.

* Kelso tries to do this to impress Jackie in ''That70sShow'' but is sabotaged by Hyde when Hyde tells her that Kelso is ripping off American Pie.

* Deconstructed in the ''{{Glee}}'' episode "Ballad".

* ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' uses this as well, although the song is somewhat different from the one in the comics. (The lyrics are still mostly "Ramona" over and over again, though.)

* ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou''
* ''MoulinRouge'' - sort of another TropeNamer.

* ''TheWeddingSinger'', both the movie and the stage musical have Robbie write "Grow Old With You" and sing it to Julia. It wins her over.

* Subverted in ''AnimalHouse''. A man serenades a group of young ladies with his guitar. They seem to be enjoying it, but Bluto is not impressed.
* ''ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' uses this as well, although the song is somewhat different from the one in the comics. (The lyrics are still mostly "Ramona" over and over again, though.)
* ''NotAnotherTeenMovie'' spoofs this, when Jack thinks about wooing Janey with a song. So he picks... "Janie's Got a Gun" by Music/{{Aerosmith}} and starts singing it out loud, sending everyone in a frenzy, thinking Janey is a school shooter.

* In ''Film/{{Ted}}'', Mark Wahlberg is trying to get his girlfriend back his irresponsibility pushed her away. He learns that she is gonna be at a Norah Jones concert that night. Turns out his best friend, magical living teddy bear Ted (ItMakesSenseInContext) is an old friend-with-benefits of Norah Jones, and he gets Mark Wahlberg on stage to during the concert to sing a song. Unfortunately, not only is he an horrible singer, he picks up the worst JamesBond theme song ever, ''All Time High'' from {Octopussy}
* In MusicAndLyrics, Alex writes one for Sophie, performed at the ConcertClimax. Especially meaningful as she is his lyricists, as he insists that he is terrible at writing lyrics.

* Elton John's "Your Song", part of which is the current page quote.
