* ''Podcast/TheAmeliaProject'' often uses remixes or covers of its own theme song fitting the episode's story or setting. The Christmas episode "Mr. Love, Actuary", for example, adds jingle bells to it in the opening and a cover using the instruments of the ''Film/LoveActually'' main theme before the epilogue.

But episode 8 begins with the version Music/JimiHendrix played at Film/{{Woodstock}}, to reflect changes in the sport and turmoil in the country during the 1960s.

* ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' does this twice in a span of three episodes, both times for comic effect. First, "Those Old Scientists," the CrossoverEpisode with ''Series/StarTrekLowerDecks'', has animated credits in the style of that series (complete with comical monsters). Then, in the MusicalEpisode "Subspace Rhapsody," the theme music is replaced with a cappella vocalizing.
