* [[HomestarRunner Strong Bad Email "caper"]]:
-->'''Strong Bad:''' The Cheat, man. ''{Music begins}'' Where did we go wrong? It seems like just yesterday we were setting fire to Strong Sad's underwears.\\
'''Strong Sad:''' ''{offscreen}'' That ''was'' yesterday!\\
'''Strong Bad:''' This one's for you.\\
''Cue "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBUP2jAPExU#t=58s The Cheat is Not Dead]]".''
* One of [[http://hiimdaisy.livejournal.com/ "hiimdaisy's"]] PhoenixWright parodies has Gavin dedicating a song to "all the disembarred lawyers out there": 'Forging Evidence (till the Break of Dawn).'

* ''The Parkers'' episode "Funny, Funny Valentine"
-->'''"Ideal" Lead Singer:''' This song goes out to a newly engaged couple in the audience.\\
''[Spotlight shines on Professor Oglevee]''\\
'''Professor Stanley Oglevee:''' She's gone. Get that damn light off of me.\\
'''"Ideal" Lead Singer:''' Oh... ok. Well, how about a couple who just got back together.\\
''[Spotlight shines on Nikki Parker]''\\
'''Nicole 'Nikki' Parker:''' Valentine's Day is for suckas. Get that damn light off of me.
* {{Veronica Mars}} dedicates her karaoke version of ''One Way or Another'' to a secret society she’s trying to catch.

[[folder:{{Documentary}}[=/=]{{Rockumentary}}]]
* ''Music/GreenDay: Bullet in a Bible''
-->'''Billie Joe Armstrong:''' This song is dedicated to everybody who took the train to get here tonight, alright? This song's called 'Jesus of Suburbia.'
* ''Music/{{GWAR}}: Live from Antarctica''
-->'''Oderus Urungus:''' ''[before playing "Sick of You"]'' ...and this song is dedicated to you insufferable... human filth!
* ''Music/LinkinPark: Live in Texas''
-->'''Chester Bennington:''' How many musicians do we have in the house? ''[audience cheers]'' Good luck to everyone of you guys man. We were on the other side of the barricade a few years ago, man. Coming to these shows, seeing our favorite bands and having the dreams. Just persevere, believe in yourself. One day you'll be up here with us. Or Music/{{Metallica}} or Music/LimpBizkit, Music/{{Deftones}}, Music/{{Mudvayne}} ''[song starts]'' so this one's dedicated to all of you guys out there.
* Music/LadyGaga dedicated 'Boys Boys Boys' to "all the gay boys and girls out there" at pretty much every concert of her Monster Ball tour. This following the explanation of how [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she was donating ten thousand dollars in a randomly picked audience member's name]] to a fund for LGBT homeless youth.

** "Homer's Barbershop Quartet"
--->'''Homer:''' This next song is dedicated to a very special lady. She's 100 years old and weighs over 200... tons.
* Invoked in FamilyGuy when showcasing how overprotective Peter is. At a concert Peter decks the lead singer of the band they're seeing because he dedicated a song to "all the ladies out there."

* Non-musical example, Scott Steiner used to end his promos with "This goes to all my freaks in [name of city]! Big Poppa Pump is your hookup! Holla if ya hear me!"

'''Type 2'''

[[folder:Music]]
* Cpop singer Landy Wen has a song, "Can U Feel It", where she sings about her anger at her lover (who she thinks does not care about her anymore) until she hears him dedicate a song to her on the radio, at which point they reconcile.
* There's a country song out there that's basically about "My girl's leaving me; I hope she hears this dedication and is convinced to turn around before she gets out of range."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:LiveActionTV]]
* ''{{Friends}}'', "The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break": after they break up, Ross calls a DJ to dedicate {{U2}}'s ''With or Without You'' to Rachel. Rachel calls the station to tell them how Ross slept with someone during the break, and the dedication is cancelled.
* Subverted in ''{{Veronica Mars}}'', when a little girl who is dying to see [[spoiler:Logan]] get back together with Veronica calls a radio station and asks Nick Lachey's "What's Left of Me" to be dedicated to her, from him. Funny, of course, because neither him nor her are exactly the romantic type... and yet this cheesy song somehow rings true.

* ''TheSimpsons''
** "Cape Feare"
--->'''Radio DJ:''' All right, this next song is dedicated to Bart Simpson, with the message "I am coming to kill you slowly and painfully."

* A Radio Caroline DJ in the mid-1970s:
-->I'd like to dedicate this next song to Lofty. And at three foot eight, what else would you call him?
* One of the local country station's morning [=DJs=] recently said to her cohost, "I finally found a song I can dedicate to you!" and played "I Pray For You":
-->I pray your brakes go out going down a hill / I pray a flower pot falls from the windowsill / and knocks you in the head like I'd like to...

* Paul Stanley of {{KISS}} is ''legendary'' for his between song banter, rife with UnusualEuphemism and [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday manly boasting]].
