* In ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'', WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} and [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]], having watched Goofy's botched first attempt at the group photo, are eager to restore everyone's morale. As they head downstairs to initiate a successful second attempt, Cinderella quickly gives Rapunzel the idea to perform the one song that defines Disney more than any other; "[[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} When You Wish Upon a Star]]". After Cinderella puts everyone at ease with a RousingSpeech, Fairy Godmother creates a guitar for Rapunzel, which she eagerly takes. Rapunzel then begins playing "When You Wish Upon a Star", and Cinderella is the first to sing, truly cementing her status as not only leader of the Princesses, but arguably as Disney's kindest and most supportive character, always eager to help in times of need. This rendition steadily gains more and more momentum, as more characters join in and even step in to help Goofy undo his earlier mistake. [[BigFinaleCrowdSong This version eventually becomes even more epic]] [[WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio than that of the existing OUAS]], as virtually ''every single character'' joins in for the final verse. Cinderella and the Prince even cap this off as they gently sing the opening line to their own tune; "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes", before Rapunzel and Eugene sing the opening to the chorus for "I See The Light", and [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Aladdin and Jasmine do the same for "A Whole New World"]], before everyone proudly sings the final line "Your dreams come true!", as the photo is finally created.

* ''WebVideo/HardlyWorking'': Parodied in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySMJWM6wMU8 "LFO"]], which features [[Music/LFO the band of the same name.]] After Jeff fails to get tickets to LFO's show, the members of the group show up at the office in a ContrivedCoincidence--but every time it seems like they're about to break into song, they change the subject. They offer to sing about what happened to their bus...only to realize that it'll be faster to just say it ("Our fan belt broke"). They ask if anyone in the gang likes to party...and then say they were simply curious. They spot a guitar leaning against the door and offer to show off with it...then use it as a weight for bench pressing.

* ''WesternAnimation/MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers'' had a singing turtle as a narrator, who found any excuse to introduce a musical number into the story. The hero just made the princess laugh -- time for a song! Pete is happy -- time for a VillainSong! HappyEnding -- One more song! That Reminds Me of a Song is practically his CatchPhrase.

* ''WebAnimation/TheOMORIBOYChronicles'': ''SEXY!!'' adapts a post reading "it sucks to live in a world where {{nice guys finish last}}" into a brief parody of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', complete with soyjack backup singers. The next video's announcement that the raw vocals for that song are being released is also done in song form.

* In the JukeboxMusical ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse'', a number of songs by Music/TheBeatles that didn't fit the plot of the film are shoehorned in by way of being performed by Sadie's band. Still subverted once with "Oh! Darling", which turned out to be bizarrely relevant to Sadie & Jojo. The same method is used in ''Film/AHardDaysNight''. John lampshades this by yelling "Let's put on the show right here, yeah!" before The Beatles rehearse a musical number. He was bummed that it ended up looking like he was serious. However, a lot of ''A Hard Day's Night'' does avert this, since the whole movie is building up to their TV performance, [[JustifiedTrope so it made sense for them]] to be "rehearsing" musical numbers. This is due in part to the band not being fans of this trope.

* ''Theatre/TheMusicMan'' -- "Shipoopi." It becomes a RunningGag for Harold to distract the school board by feeding them the first line of a song and watching them sing the rest as a barbershop quartet. Here's the cue for them to sing "Lida Rose":
