* The Anime/BraveSeries made use of insert songs in most of its entries, bar ''[[Anime/BraveExkaiser Exkaiser]]'' and ''[[Anime/TheBraveOfGoldGoldran Goldran]]''. Most of the songs were only used once per series.
** ''Anime/TheBraveFighterOfSunFighbird'' had the appropriately named "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EVZp7aOaIc Fighbird!]]" in episode 45.
** ''Anime/TheBraveFighterOfLegendDaGarn'' had "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLl64C0PVTI Densetsu no Yuusha - Kokoro wa Hitotsu]]" in episode 44. Bonus points for being performed by [[Creator/RicaMatsumoto Seiji]] and [[Creator/ShowHayami Da-Garn's]] voice actors.
** ''Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine'' used insert songs OnceAnEpisode, for the CombiningMecha StockFootage.

** ''Anime/BravePoliceJDecker'' uses "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mbXbeD9Bgg Brave Up!! Fire J-Decker]]", also for its mid-season upgrade, in episode 42. Like the ''Da-Garn'' example above, it is sung by two of the cast members. Instead of the KidHero [[ABoyAndHisX and his]] HumongousMecha friend, it's sung by the two components of the titular Fire J-Decker - [[Creator/ToruFurusawa Deckerd]] and [[Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa Duke]].
** ''Anime/BraveCommandDagwon'' has an insert song for its main robot, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9KZiieaBXA Honoo no Yuusha! Fire Dagwon]]" in episodes 28 and 38, and at one point uses the English cover of its opening, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGwYxx1tdbQ We Are Dagwon]]" in episode 11.
** ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mXPoGTBpG4 Saikyo Yuusha Robo Gundan]]", which, unlike the above ''Brave'' examples, it's not used for the main robot, but for the other robots on the team. There's a verse for [[FireIceDuo HyoRyu and EnRyu]], a verse for [[RedOniBlueOni Goldymarg and Volfogg]], and one for [[LightningWindJuxtaposition FuRyu and RaiRyu]].
*** ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFINAL'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1NoV5zwOZ0 Saikyo Yuusha Robo Gundan -Ladies-]]", a song dedicated to [[LightDarknessJuxtaposition KoRyu and AnRyu]]. Unlike the TV series' song, "-Ladies-" mentions the two's combined form, [[YinYangBomb TenRyuJin]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'' has original songs that often play in the background, but there are a few performed by the characters.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'' occasionally has songs playing in the background reflecting what's happening. For example, "[[Recap/JellystoneS2E10SweetDreams Sweet Dreams]]" includes a synth pop song about the various bedtime stories told to Augie. Sometimes, the characters themselves will perform songs, like in "[[Recap/JellystoneS2E4BusinessPants Pants]]", "[[Recap/JellystoneS2E6TheBraveLittleDaddyTheBigStink The Brave Little Daddy]]", "[[Recap/JellystoneS1E11SpellBook Spell Book]]", and the BandEpisode "[[Recap/JellystoneS2E2BleepYogisMidlifeCrisis Yogi's Midlife Crisis]]".
* ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'' has one lyrical song per episode. The songs are done using instruments from the country the episode is set in, so an episode set in Mexico would use a lot of trumpets.
* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'' is heavily music-driven, using lyrical songs to match the tone of certain scenes. WordOfGod says that this aspect was inspired by how Creator/QuentinTarantino uses music in his films.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' has multiple songs, with many of them themed after '50-60s music and Broadway. The songs advance the plot and are both character-driven and curriculum-driven, so one moment you could have a love duet between Carrot and Celery, and the next moment you could have a song about why the moon has craters.
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' often uses lyrical songs to underscore scenes such as "Mississippi Queen", "Ballroom Blitz", "Heroes", "Holding Out For a Hero", "I Get Around", and more.
