Hypocritical singing is like singing, but with hypocrisy. It could be directly self-referential, i.e. the character is contradicting themselves within the song, or the song contains both lyrics which propose a maxim and also break that same maxim: for instance, a song about being truthful which itself contains lies. It could also be a character singing about a maxim whilst breaking that maxim in their actions rather than the song itself: for instance, a song about being truthful sung while the character is on their way to deliver false information. Sometimes Played for Laughs, in the form of Hypocritical Humor. Also can be used to show that a character should not be trusted. Related to and may overlap with Lyrical Dissonance. |

In High School Musical 2, one of the characters sings about how he doesn't dance. Which is odd, considering that he was doing perfect choreography in the last movie. | |

Meg's "I Won't Say I'm In Love" from Disney's Hercules is all about how she's not in love with Hercules, which becoming less and less believable as the song goes on, as The Muses themselves point out. | |

Or in The Simpsons during the all-singing clip show when Homer says, 'Singing is the lowest form of communication." Marge says, 'But you sing all the time," and Homer replies, "No I don't, I hate to rhyme." | |

"Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted" from The Mikado. Many productions have Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum punctuate "This, oh, this, is what I'll/he'll never do" with kisses. Pooh-Bah also has this line in "So Pardon Us": "To our prerogative we cling, So pardon us, So pardon us, If we decline to dance and sing, Tra la la la la la..." while dancing and singing. | |

In Phineas and Ferb, the song "Ain't Got Rhythm" is about librarian and former rockstar Swampy saying that he lost his ability to make rhythm after he fell asleep in a metronome factory... despite making a spontaneous and incredibly catchy improvised rhythm as he sings this. Phineas even points out how clearly untrue this is. | |

In Thenardier's song "Master of the House" from Les Misérables, he sings about what an honest and decent innkeeper he is, all while constantly cheating and conning everyone in the inn. | |

On Saturday Night Live, Justin Timberlake showcased his singing talents with a song saying that he wasn't there to showcase his singing talents. Taylor Swift did something similar, discussing various topics in her opening monologue song and ending each verse with "But I'm not going to talk about that in my monologue song." |

Genesis's 1991 album We Can't Dance provides two instances of this trope: "Jesus He Knows Me" is about an Egocentrically Religious televangelist who says "Won't find me practicing what I'm preaching/Won't find me making no sacrifice", as well as a verse about how "I believe in family" while cheating on his wife with both men and women. Later, there's "I Can't Dance", a very catchy song about how they have no musical talent. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Musical Episode "Once More With Feeling" has two examples: "I'll Never Tell", in which Anya and Xander list all the secrets they're keeping from each other. This plays around with the Musical World Hypothesis; in an "All In Their Heads" musical these could have been counterpoint Thinking Out Loud (and it's possible that characters think they are at the time), but they can in fact hear each other. "Rest In Peace", in which Spike sings of wanting Buffy to leave him alone, but he wants the exact opposite of that. |

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend lives for this trope. The best example is "I'm A Good Person", in which Rebecca actually threatens the people around her with a knife in order to get them to say what a good person she is. | |

"Poor Unfortunate Souls" from The Little Mermaid is a slight variation in that Ursula, while trying to get Ariel to make a deal with her, sings of how she [Ursula] uses her powers to help people. The song's hypocritical in that Ursula makes herself seem to come off in the very best light. While she does help people, she compares herself to a saint, but she also always has something to gain from her deals, and she goes out of her way to make sure that those under contract will fail to uphold their end of the bargain. | |

The Hobbit: When pressed to do Bilbo's dishes, the dwarves begin to sing about smashing his plates and destroying his property, while actually taking care to do no damage at all. The last line of the song (Which didn't make it into the film adaptation) mentions that wrecking Bilbo's property like that would displease their host, which is why they won't do them. | |
