Is there a trope for having an instrumental recording of a song available so that you can sing your song? Kind of like a Justified version of Invisible Backup Band. Not necessarily a tape/CD/etc. that you carry about with you, but one that just so happens to be where you are. Example: On The Dick Van Dyke Show Sally goes to a bowling alley where nobody bowls because they're doing this new dance invented there called the "Twizzle." They dance to the music from the jukebox, and a young man has an epiphany to sing a made-up-on-the-spot song which goes perfectly with the vocal-less tune already playing! The original tune isn't about a dance or anything, it's just instrumental.
