See also TheSomethingSong and SomethingBlues. Note: actual [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballad Ballad form]] requires specific meter and rhythm, and not all of these examples fit that classification in its strictest sense. The trope is about the ''name'', not the song structure.

Now, actual [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballad Ballad form]] requires specific meter and rhythm, so many of these examples won't fit that classification in its strictest sense (or even its loosest). The trope is about the title of a work, not the song structure. A lot of works use this trope to create a sort of parody title, combining the old-fashioned grandeur suggested by the term "ballad" with the implicit absurdity of the rest of the title.
