** It's implied that every time "Sonic's Song" is played on the radio, Catty Carlisle and her band are performing it live. Radio stations typically play pre-recorded music.
** When Robotnik is playing the organ, look closely when he sings the line "Robotnik, he's so cool." The animation shows him pressing the keys multiple times, even though the music playing is just two long chords.
** Catty says she doesn't know how to play the accordion, but then she plays it perfectly (though it sounds more like a synthesizer than a real accordion.) At the end of the episode, she claims to have gotten better at the accordion, only to suddenly play it terribly.

* ''Film/TheDarkBackward'' seems to lean in on this for comedy. When Gus is frolicking down a trash-bestrewn alley and playing his accordion, he removes his hand from the keyboard and gestures expansively for several seconds, yet the music continues unaffected.

* A unique sort of Artistic License comes up in ''{{Film/UHF}}'', which threw in the music video for "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies". Mark Knopfler of Music/DireStraits only allowed the parody on the condition that he would play the lead guitar. Music/WeirdAlYankovic's usual guitarist, Jim West, had worked hard on perfectly imitating Knopfler's original performance; Knopfler himself did not. This is why, unusually for a Weird Al parody, the guitar part sounds quite different from the original song, especially noticeable in the opening riff.[[note]] It has been said that nobody plays that riff exactly like the recording, even Mark Knopfler.

* ''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'': As much as the show tries to teach kids about music, it still gets quite a few things wrong:
** Generally, the notes characters are heard playing don’t correspond to the notes they look like they’re playing, While some level of this is probably necessary due to animation constraints, that doesn’t excuse the times when characters are shown to be playing while their instrument is not heard- or when they’re shown not playing while their instrument is heard.
** Billie is very clearly an electric guitar, but is never portrayed as having to be plugged into an amp to play. This could be handwaved as being because she’s an AnimateInanimateObject… except that the guest instrument in “Jazzberries Unplugged” is an electric guitar who ''is'' depicted as needing electricity to play.
** Ella’s keyboard has a ''far'' smaller number of keys than an actual piano, although this was probably necessary as depicting her with the proper amount (88) would make her nigh-impossible to animate.
** Stringed instruments are generally depicted with fewer strings than they actually have. Sometimes this is necessary (imagine how hard Persephone The Harp would be to animate if she had all 47 strings), but usually it’s just stupid- Billie has three strings out of a guitar’s 6, and RC has two (out of 4).
** Xavier the “xylophone” has metal keys, which would actually make him a glockenspiel (xylophone keys are made of wood). All of his keys are also all the same size, despite the fact that real xylophone/glockenspiel keys are different sizes because each size produces a different pitch.
** In “Super Sounds”, Ella is able to pop her soundboard out of her “head” and play her strings like a harp. Needless to say, real pianos do not work like that at all.
** Egregiously, despite [[EverythingIsAnInstrument the musical saw]] being the featured instrument of “Phantom Of The Jam”, not a single note played on an actual saw is heard (except in the live-action segments); instead, the supposed “saw noises” are produced either by a theremin or by a vocal imitation (read: some guy going “[=OOOOOOooooOOOOO=]”).

* Jim from ''Series/TheAndyGriffithShow''. In his first appearance, he's a talented but struggling street performer playing a dirty archtop acoustic. His playing is clearly overdubbed over with an electric guitar (Andy, who plays a flattop Martin D18 on the show, isn't dubbed over, possibly due to him [[TheCastShowoff already being an accomplished musician]]). While it wasn't uncommon for archtops of the era to include electric guitar pickups, Jim's guitar didn't, nor did he have an amplifier plugged into his instrument. Then after joining a touring rock band, he returns in a later episode, this time with a Fender Jaguar (a proper electric, and in fact Fender's top-of-the-line model at the time before it would be forever overshadowed by the Stratocaster). He's seen performing for the Taylors with his Jaguar, but still without an amp.

Actually, being able to play a stringed instrument like that well would give one the skills to be able to play blues riffs on an electric guitar. From being able to play guitar, I've been able to play some basic stuff on violin, viola, ukulele, bass, and cello

* Parodied out of spite for Music/{{Nirvana}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s4KXiXVFAI TV appearance]] on ''Series/TopOfThePops''. Before the show, they were told that they would be miming to the original studio backing track and only Kurt's vocals would be live (actually a common practice with the programme). The band were decidedly not happy to hear this, so they intentionally flubbed their performance by playing out of sync (or in some cases, [[SpecialEffectFailure not at all]]) with the track, while Kurt put on his best Music/{{Morrissey}} impression for the vocals.
