Just because something is nonliving doesn't mean it can't be part of a song. This trope happens mostly in musicals and operas, when a character interacts with an inanimate object during a musical number. It exists partially to make a scene look more realistic. For instance, which would be more effective: a character who is carrying a broom and instantly stops using it just to sing a song, or a character who is carrying a broom, starts singing and incorporates the broom into the song? Most musicals would choose the latter. This trope exists in two forms: The character uses, say, a broom for its intended purpose, but doing it to the beat or rhythm of the music. The character dances with or plays with the broom during the song. Note: This trope incorporates inanimate objects as part of the choreography of a musical number. If a number uses such objects as musical instruments or use them for percussive reasons, it is not this trope, it is an example of Everything Is an Instrument. Compare Dancing with Myself. |

In the Tom and Jerry short "Mouse in Manhatten", Jerry dances with a placecard holder shaped like a doll. When their dancing carries them to another one, he tosses the first one aside and starts dancing with the next, then does the exact same thing again upon encountering a third. | |

Into the Woods does this twice in the prologue. Once when some cookies get passed from Red Riding Hood to the Baker to his wife to the basket and back to Red, or something along those lines, all to the tempo of the music (and then Red makes real use of the cookies in the middle of a line). The second time happens when Cinderella is twisting her stepsister's hair to the beat. She keeps following the beat, thus making the hair too tight. Her stepsister, needless to say, is less than pleased. | |

Scrubs: The show pulls this in the intro to the second episode. As JD finds his feet, everything "clicks" in time with his music. And yes, there is a broom. One episode has JD being put on the spot to do something "special" for Dr Cox, who is sure JD has something planned and refuses to leave until JD reveals it. As JD taps his pen on the counter trying to think of something, the sounds of activity around happen to sync up perfectly into a little tune, which Dr Cox takes as JD's doing and leaves, satisfied. JD notes the implausibility of what just happened. |

Subverted in the revival of Company. When the actors aren't engaging in musical number, they make other uses of the orchestral instruments they carry around. Including the piano. Especially the piano. Well, any Encores production of a show will do something similar, given that they have to carry those black binders around everywhere. |

Phineas and Ferb try this while cleaning the bathroom with their toothbrushes after getting sent to reform school in "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted". They're interrupted mid-jam by the drill-sergeant, who bellows "NO FUNKY RHYTHMS!" An even bigger example would be in "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", while they were recruiting the drummer of their parent's favorite band. He insisted he'd lost his sense of rhythm after falling asleep in a metronome factory, but Phineas and Ferb broke out into song to show him he still had it. | |

In some productions of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the final note of the show is punctuated by the slamming of a door. Probably one of the most epic moments in the whole play. "The Worst Pies in London" is punctuated by the sounds of Mrs. Lovett kneading dough, stamping on cockroaches, and bustling noisily (but rhythmically) around her dingy shop. |
