Is this trope just about loudly singing about being quiet? Or does it also require stealth?

I'm trying to figure out if My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fits or not. There's one scene where a character sings a lullaby at the top of her lungs while she's supposed to be falling asleep, but there's no actual attempt at stealth.

Oops, sorry about that. I'm used to TRS, where it adds one automatically.

No biggie. I think the MLP:FIM example is legitimate. The trope is basically "Something that should be done quietly is instead done very loudly or announced or otherwise drawn attention to. It may need a split down the line, into "Stealth Attacks" and "Other Situations", but I don't see a need for that now.
