* ''WebAnimation/DoubleRainboom'': ShoutOut: When Twilight is following the flaming trail, the BackgroundMusic briefly mimics the theme of Film/BackToTheFuture.
* ''WebAnimation/FingerFamilyVideos'': What we do know is that a lot of different channels are indeed connected in the fact that a lot of similar BackgroundMusic is used.
* ''WebVideo/HalfLifeButTheAIIsSelfAware'': SoundtrackDissonance: Sometimes the chat chooses what BackgroundMusic plays, which means this chaos can be accompanied by such songs as '[[UsefulNotes/{{France}} La Marseillaise]]', '[[Film/AustinPowers Soul Bossa Nova]]', or '[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion A Cruel Angel's Thesis]]'
* ''WebVideo/RWBYTheAbridgedSeries'': BackgroundMusic / ClimacticMusic: The series has utilized a few licensed tracks here and there, but to avoid getting blocked for copyright, have mostly stuck to using original music written by Stormy's band, Eris and the Pantheon. These songs usually appear in action scenes during episodes.

* ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'': MickeyMousing averted then played straight in "Hellbent", as the video begins with "Every Note" as an in-universe radio track rather than the BackgroundMusic before "Hellbent" takes over the radio [[DiegeticSwitch and fades into the background track]].

[[AC: Web Videos]]
* ''WebVideo/WelcomeToTheBasement'': EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When the show was but a babe, darker lighting was featured, as were tighter closeups, a different seating arrangement, the much reviled 'Spoiler Redacted' censor (when it was utilized for the endings of the featured films), an absence of a TitleSequence and a more curtailed use of BackgroundMusic, among other nuances.

* ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsNutcrackerSuite'': This Care Bears film does use the Nutcracker Suite as BackgroundMusic.




to:

* ''WesternAnimation/SoupeOpera'': In each episode, fruit appears in a basket in a black, empty room. Then an opera woman sings "[[TitleDrop Soupe Opéra!]]". This sets off the BackgroundMusic, which is made up of [[TheNineties very '90s drums]] with assorted weird noises. Then the fruit starts moving, cutting itself up to form animals. Once assembled, they perform an action, like eating the food or making even more weird noises. This repeats four times throughout the episode. [[NoPlotNoProblem There's no other plot]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiesInDisguise'': GilliganCut: [[spoiler: After Killian has been defeated, the BackgroundMusic swells as Walter has an EurekaMoment, believing he and Lance will have their jobs reinstated. Cue a SmashCut to Lance and Walter carrying [[CardboardBoxofUnemployment Carboard Boxes of Unemployment]] and the [[SuddenSoundtrackStop music suddenly grinding to a halt]].]]




* ''WesternAnimation/WITCH'': InternalHomage: Also happens with individual episodes, where the plot of a second season episode is quite similar to one from the first on the surface, but significantly DarkerAndEdgier. Examples include "A Service to the Community" and "Q is for Quarry" (Will jumping to conclusions about a {{Glamour}}), "Divide and Conquer" and "T is for Trauma" (a new girl comes to the heroines' school and charms the boys away from them), and rather obviously given the role of the [[MindControlDevice Horn of Hypnos]] in both, "Walk This Way" and "G is for Garbage". In the first case, it's openly {{lampshaded}}, while in the second the same BackgroundMusic plays during the scenes in question.

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/WITCH'': ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': RecordNeedleScratch: In "Blazing Paddles". The exciting BackgroundMusic suddenly screeches to a halt when Pablo asks "Uh...when is high noon?".
* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'': "Play It Again, Wufgang" centres on the destruction of the world's music, which cripples our heroes since they're physically incapable of doing anything without accompanying BackgroundMusic. They finish the episode via blatantly-{{lampshade|Hanging}}d [[SourceMusic Diegetic Music]] provided by a cassette player (which has been kept in safe storage for just such an occasion). Difficulties with cueing the right music queue lead to a hilariously climactic series of SoundtrackDissonance, which actually causes the scene to go wrong until the right music is played.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pibby}}'': DarkReprise: The trailer opens with ''Learning with Pibby'''s theme song, a cheerful and innocent tune suitable for a cartoon for small children. Near the end, well after [[SubvertedKidsShow the true tone of the series becomes evident]], the BackgroundMusic changes to a version with slow, emotionless vocals and a progressively harsher mechanical beat. In particular, as Pibby witnesses the EldritchAbomination assume the form of [=BunBun=], the last line is layered to sound outright demonic.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'':
InternalHomage: Also happens with individual episodes, where the plot of a second season episode is quite similar to one from the first on the surface, but significantly DarkerAndEdgier. Examples include "A Service to the Community" and "Q is for Quarry" (Will jumping to conclusions about a {{Glamour}}), "Divide and Conquer" and "T is for Trauma" (a new girl comes to the heroines' school and charms the boys away from them), and rather obviously given the role of the [[MindControlDevice Horn of Hypnos]] in both, "Walk This Way" and "G is for Garbage".

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit'':
** HolyPipeOrgan: Spoofed. During the town meeting scene, the pipe organ in the church [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn continues to play dramatic stings after the Vicar is done talking.]] PC Mackintosh yells at the organist to stop and so she shuts the keyboard cover. Pipe organ music is then absent from the rest of the scene's BackgroundMusic.
** LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: TheVicar gives a doom-and-gloom rant about the Were-Rabbit with dramatic organ music in the background. The church organist is told to knock it off.
