* ''Film/JerryMaguire'': After Jerry signs Cush back (or so he thinks), while driving to the airport, he looks for a song on the radio to [[SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein sing along to in order to express his joy]]. Music/TheRollingStones' "Bitch" comes on first, which doesn't fit, and he switches to "Angel of the Morning" by Merrilee Rush (too high), and then "She" by Gram Parsons (which he doesn't know), before finally landing on "Free-Fallin'", which he does sing along to enthusiastically.
