* ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'': When Corey tries to set up a romantic evening with Topanga out of the mistaken belief that Shawn is having sex so he and Topanga are "behind," the love song he intended gets mixed up with one of his younger sister Morgan's kid songs. He doesn't turn it on until after Topanga has talked to him about not being ready and not needing to be pressured, so they decide to roll with it and dance along instead.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'': When Cole and Zane are trying to integrate into the Sons of Garmadon biker gang at their karaoke bar hangout, Zane hatches a plan to have Cole sing to impress them. Cole reluctantly gets on stage, tosses Zane a coin for the jukebox and tells him to start a song... which, to Cole's embarrassment, turns out to be a childish lullaby instead of something more badass. Zane can only offer a sheepish grin, and Cole tries to salvage the plan, only to wind up revealing himself as a ninja. [[spoiler:Zane manages to maintain cover and help one of the leaders escape, so this very well could have been his plan in the first place.]]

* In the Chilly Willy cartoon "The Legend of Rock-a-Bye Point," a fish-stealing polar bear has to lull a watchdog to sleep singing "Rock-a-Bye Baby." In one scene the dog is awakened after Chilly puts a clarinet in his mouth, so the bear grabs some sheet music for "Rock-a-Bye Baby" and plays it on the clarinet. It seems to work until Chilly replaces the sheet music with that of circus music.
