[[spoiler: Towards the end, things have degenerated enough that they're on the brink of simply trading insults when a new figure, Mimsy, intrudes and promptly hijacks the song into her introducing herself as having arrived]].

* ''Guilty Conscience'' by Music/DrDre and Music/{{Eminem}} is an interesting take on the idea, with the two rappers in the role of the proverbial [[GoodAngelBadAngel angel and devil]] on the shoulder of characters caught up in a variety of situations. Subverted at the end (at least on the uncut version) where [[spoiler:the "angel" Dre agrees with the "Devil" Em that the "protagonist" should kill both his [[YourCheatingHeart cheating wife]] and the [[MurderTheHypotenuse guy the protagonist just found her in bed with.]]]]

* ''Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto'' has a leitmotif of this, with Cesare arguing complex viewpoints against other characters. It first comes up in the classroom scene, where he gets into a debate, first with Giovanni, then with Angelo, about the story of Ugolino from Dante's Inferno. Later, the same melody comes up when he and Giovanni are discussing the merits and drawbacks of their respective positions -- Cesare being noble but illegitimate, Giovanni being rich but without title. Near the end, when Giovanni is being questioned in order to become a cardinal, Cesare brings up points he discussed in the previous scene when they were alone, and plays devil's advocate, making Giovanni defend himself. He's gained just enough depth to do it, but the 1990's-ballad style of his solo shows that he's still more or less an airhead.



* ''Theatre/JesusChristSuperstar'' has "Everything's Alright", which has Mary Magdalene telling Jesus to relax, Judas saying that they should be helping the poor instead of relaxing, and Jesus saying they should all concentrate on the future.

Judas saying says that they should be helping the poor instead of relaxing, and relaxing. Mary tries to get Jesus saying they should all concentrate on to ignore him, but he won't. And then the future.same thing happens during "The Last Supper", with Jesus shrieking for Judas to get out, and Judas, needing the last word, giving him a few lines of the title song, the solo he'll sing once they're both dead.
