At most I could see some kind of Audience Reaction here, but not a proper trope.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.
Theme Song Dissonance is a better trope, and adverts this one.

Isn't this just Title Drop?
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
This isn't Title Drop and it isn't an Audience Reaction:
- Theme Song Assonance is when the show's theme is not intended to have words - and yet mimicks the rhythm of the title of the show. In a sense, this gives it 'words' - only subconscious, imaginary words 'sung' in the listener's head.
Sounds like a legitimate music trope to me.

I think it's too subjective in how you interpret it, especially as many examples are two or three syllables (and there's nothing more to the trope than counting syllables). A few examples are basically fan-made lyrics for the theme song. Others are arbitrary words that fit the setting.
The rhythm you speak the title with can be adapted along with the song.
Also, I just don't get several examples after looking them up.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.
When the title is just a few syllables and the tune is sufficiently long. why wouldn't the rhythms match up, somewhere?

I don't think "assonance" is the word the title is looking for, either.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.
If this trope doesn't get cut, make it YMMV. Too opinionated to not be.
Some nights I rule the world...
I think the Superman example shows that it is a trope, but a good portion of the examples need to be cut. This really only works if we have Word of God backing it up.
"If you're out here why do I miss you so much?"
So, cut or no cut?

I'd say cutlist and go back to YKTTW.

Sent to cutlist. I don't think this is worthy of sending back to YKTTW, because I don't think there are that many true examples of this.
Inclined to cutlist as well. Pretty wildly subjective here.
Theme Song Assonance. Brought 8 people here.
I fail to see how "A part of the theme song sounds like the title" is a trope. It's like making a trope out of songs that sound like they're saying "TV Tropes" when you play them backwards.
For example, "Lost" is one syllable. You could "hear" the title in literally every note of its theme.
