This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.
I'm looking for a trope that's not quite Musical Spoiler, but it's similar and in that territory. It's a trope where if a certain famous song starts playing, you already know what's going to happen because the song has been so overused in certain situations. For example, if Rush's "Tom Sawyer" starts playing in an 80s movie, you know something awesome's about to happen. Or if "Bad to the Bone" starts playing, you know a character's about to do something rebellious. Anyone know what this is called?
