Go To


1	'''Basic Trope''': Someone or something has a piece of music associated to them.
2	* '''Straight''': Terry has a theme song that plays every time he is present during a scene; It's something out of a family sitcom.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** ''Every'' character has some sort of theme. For example, [[BarbaricBully Flash]] has a growling guitar and an overall RottenRockAndRoll leitmotif around him.
5	** Terry's theme music [[MickeyMousing varies on what he's doing]].
6	* '''Downplayed''': Terry's just got a musical cue to indicate that he's entered, and that's about it.
7	* '''Justified''': Terry is the President of the United States. Every time he enters a scene, it's a formal occasion, and the Marine Band plays "Hail to the Chief."
8	* '''Inverted''': Every time Terry enters the scene, no music plays.
9	* '''Subverted''': A theme appears to be Terry's, but then it turns into a generic theme that doesn't play only for him.

13	* '''Averted''':
14	** There is no unique track for Terry.
15	** Terry's in a film with no budget for an orchestra.
16	* '''Enforced''':
17	** The music is used to highlight Terry's uniqueness.
18	** Toys based on Terry are a big hit, so the producer wants Terry to stand out from the rest of the cast.
19	* '''Lampshaded''': "Here comes Terry. I can tell because the music's changed."
20	* '''Invoked''': Terry brings a boombox with him to play his theme everywhere he goes.
21	* '''Exploited''': Bob is able to foil Terry's sneak attack by hearing his theme.
22	* '''Defied''': No single track ever plays more than once for Terry.
23	* '''Discussed''': The other characters take note of Terry's theme [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall coming out of nowhere when he walks in the room]].
24	--> "Watch, Terry's gonna walk in, and that song/piece is gonna play."
25	* '''Conversed''': Characters are watching Terry on TV. They take note of his theme playing every time he walks on-screen.
26	--> "Shows like these always have a certain theme each time a certain character walks on."
