'''Isa''': Yes?\\
'''Lea''': Well… [[Music/AvrilLavigne he was a boy, she was a girl]]… presumably… can I make it any more obvious?

* ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'':
-->He suddenly looked at them with an evil look in his eye and muttered Well If you wanted Honesty that’s all you haD TO SAY! .\\
"That's not a spell that's an [[Music/MyChemicalRomance MCR]] song." I corrected him wisely.
* A few mangled lines from songs are snuck into the dialogue in ''FanFic/DecksFallEveryoneDies''.
* In ''FanFic/DrunkardsWalk II'', during a discussion about Doug's PinballGag combat ([[AWizardDidIt it's magic]]), one character asks "How do you think he does it?" and a second responds "I don't know." A third continues "[[Music/{{Tommy}} What makes him so good?]]... Well, it's obvious that he's a pinball wizard. And that there has to be a twist." Neither of the other two gets it.
* This quote from Gibbet (Willow) of ''[[FanFic/MyMetal My Mëtäl]]'', a ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' HeavyMetal {{Parody}} by Creator/MonicaGilbeyBieber, as an added explanation of how Gibbet would show up one chapter after Ignacïo confesses to Rainblood that he killed Gibbet. This is in reference to the scene in ''My Immortal'' where Willow is brought back to life without explanation.

** Hilariously, Music/AvengedSevenfold is considered a poser (My Metal's equivalent of a prep) band in this fanfic.
** Also, Rainblood/Chäntal mentions that [[Music/FallingInReverse he's not a vampire, but he feels like one]] when Tom asked him/her how s/he drank all the blood of a lady in the movie theater. Just like Avenged Sevenfold, Falling in Reverse is also, hilariously, a poser band in this fanfic.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10707012/3/Another-Day-in-the-Life-of Another Day in the Life of]]'' Voldemort quotes Music/{{Queen}}'s "Another One Bites the Dust" shortly before entering the Potter home at Godric's Hollow.
* In ''Fanfic/DisneyHigh'', {{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}} mistakenly believes that Jasmine will only date someone who knows all the lyrics to an album by Music/MileyCyrus by heart. When they are talking at a party and he tries to convince her he's really an Arabian prince who's only moved to the US recently, he desperately comes up with this:
-->'''Aladdin:''' I just got here... hopped off the plane at L.A.X... with my dream and um... my cardigan. I mean... it's the land of fame excess... I was kinda worried I wasn't going to fit in.\\
'''Jasmine:''' Are you... are those the lyrics to Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA"?\\
'''Aladdin:''' ...Maybe.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11420222/11/The-Fairy-Godmother The Fairy Godmother]]'' Harry's mother comments on how much she and his father loved him at the end of a recorded will.
-->'''Lily:''' Never be sad, because our sacrifice was for you. You are my little sunshine and you make me happy when my skies are grey.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11166568/4/The-Ties-That-Bind The Ties That Bind]]'', [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] segues into quoting John Denver ("leaving on a jet plane...") while giving Edgeworth romantic advice. It should be noted that this is not at all out of character for [[SickeninglySweethearts him]].
* Several examples in ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'', notably when the priest of Meddar convinces [[Music/TheBeatles the four]] to rescue Malla's baby by quoting a couple of lines from “Help!” while channeling the god.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10677182/3/There-s-Nothing-Sweeter There's Nothing Sweeter]]'':
-->'''Gwen:''' Now that you know me, your life would suck without me. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRM70Jw7F4M Coz we belong together, yeah, forever united here somehow, yeah.]]\\
'''Travis:''' Oh Gods, shut up. You're not even singing it and that song ''still'' sounds awful.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5608089/2/Leaving-Home Leaving Home]]'' Harry decides to transfer to Salem Academy. Hermione's parents ask her why she intends to do the same and she quotes Peggy March's "I Will Follow Him".
* In ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8184311/chapters/18750962 Secrets]]'' Draco is nervous about the impending Final Battle.
-->'''Harry:''' Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear.\\
'''Draco:''' [[Music/BonJovi Livin' on a fucking prayer.]]\\
'''Harry:''' We've got to hold on, ready or not. You live for the fight when it's all that you've got.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7665632/14/Potter-s-Protector Potter's Protector]]'' Xander receives a valentine which quotes "Hungry Like the Wolf".
-->'''Xander:''' I'm fairly certain Music/DuranDuran are, as we speak, building a lawsuit.
* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMysticForce'': When the true BigBad [[spoiler: Ivan Ooze]] reveals himself, he quips "[[Music/TheRollingStones Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.]]"
* In ''Fanfic/BetweenMyBrotherAndMeMorsOmnibus'', Yvonne Maxa and Yusho Sakaki have to duel Yuya and Zarc in an Action Duel. At this point, Yusho is trying everything he can to free Yuya from Zarc's control, so Yvonne uses the lines from the song "Aim For the Head" by Music/CreatureFeature to give him ideas.
-->'''Yvonne:''' This is a test of strength and your will to survive. And if you give up now, they’re gonna eat you alive.\\
'''Yusho:''' Then how do we stop them?\\
'''Yvonne:''' ''(pulling out a [[KnifeNut knife]])'' I suggest that with a loaded gun and a steady hand, we just might live through this.\\
(...)\\
'''Yusho:''' Any other advice?\\
'''Yvonne:''' ''(taps side of head twice)'' Aim for the head.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' has Lexi do this on one occasion, referencing The Beatles after dancing with Chloe ([[Music/TheBeatles "happy just to dance with you"]]), but Chloe herself is the one who most often peppers her dialogue with quotes from books or songs when she wants to make a clever joke. Chloe doesn't always explain ''when'' she's doing this, however, leading to moments like:
-->'''Lexi''': It doesn’t matter what car you’re from or what your aspirations are; they [Grace and Simon] will hurt you, kill you and show not a single ounce of pity. If I had my way, I’d…\\
'''[[NightmareFetishist Chloe]]:''' [[Music/TheDecemberists Find them, bind them, tie them to a pole and break their fingers to splinters, throw them in a hole until they wake up naked crawling at the ceiling of their graves?]]\\
(''{{Beat}}'')\\
'''Lexi''' ...Was any of that sarcastic?
* ''Fanfic/KingdomHeartsPsiTheSeekerOfDarkness'': ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16458608/chapters/39115876 Adjustments]]'' has a scene where Kairi, giving relationship advice to Roxas about Xion, quotes the chorus of Music/JesseMcCartney's "Beautiful Soul", [[ActorAllusion to him]], much to his confusion.
-->'''Roxas''': I just… I didn’t realize that you could just… say song lyrics. I thought it had to be timed right… and underwater… and [[RhythmGame with the right button presses]].
* ''Fanfic/NewTamaran'' and ''Fanfic/BeastBoyAndRavenJoinPETA'' both have Raven quoting the chorus of "The Vengeful One" by Music/{{Disturbed}} upon turning into The Spectre.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13751104/27/Time-Left-Today Time Left Today]]'':
-->'''Dumbledore:''' —that this must have been a challenging night. And for that, I am truly sorry. You have every right to feel anger or despair, Harry, and do not take what I am about to say as a suggestion to smother all feeling. But I have lived a long time now, and I have been shown over and again that sometimes, it is the moments when we are denied that ultimately lead to great fulfilment. The seeds of our victories lie in our defeats.\\
'''Harry:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3sMjm9Eloo Life is a highway.]]
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13791274/18/The-Snorkackic-Trio The Snorkackic Trio]]'':
-->'''Dudley:''' Yes, sure, I'd be delighted to attend your wedding.\\
'''Harry:''' Great! Tomorrow you'll meet my godfather, Sirius Black, and he'll take you shopping for Muggle clothes. He's a wizard, but he's a dapper dresser when he wants to dress Muggle.\\
'''Hermione:''' [[Music/ZZTop 'Cause ev'ry girl crazy about a sharp-dressed man.]]
* A TalkingInYourDreams moment in ''Fanfic/HarryAndTheShipgirls'' had Hibiki talk to Verniy, the manifestation of Hibiki's regrets from her days as a steel hull. A great deal of Verniy's dialogue was cribbed from the lyrics to ''[[Anime/KanColle Miiro]]''.
-->Verniy finished for her. "To be sad? To not have anything to live for?" At Hibiki's nod, she sighed. "Da, I can see that. But I am, and was you. And so once you were like me as you are me. Yet now, you have so much to live for. You will not be so foolish as to repeat the tragedy and have escaped the sea of sadness."

-->Smiling thinly, Verniy shook her head. "Can you blame me, so long have I done without our them? Back then, yearning I set sail for Russia. Despair, loss, parting, we crossed the sea with countless sorrows. When I could... I would let them fall away. Even if you could not accept me, and what it stood for, I was alright. Because they were there in the end and I could see them."

-->For a moment, the world around them stilled and Verniy smiled widely with tears in her eyes. "Then I will put all I have into this blow, and my whole memory will melt away into the color of the sea and disappear into the light of the past for you. And this time... this time we shall change things. You will make it so that we do not lose them in this miraculous time." Closing her eyes, she let out a sob. [[TearJerker "Please... please, I do not want to lose them. I can't lose them again."]]
