I actually find it surprising someone tried to demonstrate a pure music trope with a picture, but here we go.

The context of this scene isn't obvious at first glance. Therefore, we don't know what happened that got them to singing the "recruitment" song in a darker tone. That, and we don't know if they sang it with a happier tone earlier on in the film.

At best, all I could think of is to either show both versions of the exact same song at the exact point within it (with the happier tune at the top), or use a scene from a more well known work (if possible). Can't think of specific examples to either solutions, especially in the former case (as I'm unfamiliar with that film).

Leaning strongly toward making this a BUPKIS case unless someone's got a good suggestion in mind.

I agree. The current image is just a bunch of guys lined up together with nothing to indicate that they're in a song number, let alone a reprise.

BUPKIS. A trope like this cannot be described with an image.

Agree with making this BUPKIS.

I think this is one case where using BUPKIS is appropriate.

What they said. Music is hard to picture, and easy to get wrong.

Calling this one as a BUPKIS trope. The page is tagged thusly; locking up.

EDIT: Another oversized pic.
