There are songs so famous (or infamous) that they're universally adored (or reviled) in certain circles, constantly being requested (possibly to the point of annoyance) on the radio, at a concert, or in a lounge. Of course, Small Reference Pools mean these tend to be the same songs across different genres. This is a Cyclic Trope, as time marches on and these songs go into and out of style. A Black Sheep Hit tends to become one of these. | |

The Simpsons: Barney wants to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers play, and so starts a chant for "Chilly Willy". On another occasion, Homer is at a Bachman-Turner Overdrive concert and demands they play "Taking Care of Business". When they grudgingly oblige, he then wants them to skip to the "Working Overtime" part. |

A Rex Morgan, M.D. storyline had Fergus Murphy, previously introduced as an arrogant roots country singer called "Mud Mountain" Murphy, best known for the song "Muddy Boots", reinvent himself and become a lounge singer on a cruise ship, singing vaguely surreal easy listening songs. The entire passenger roster wanted him to sing "Muddy Boots", but it took learning that his spiritual guru was a conman and watching him attempt to murder someone him before he'd do so. | |

A skit in sketch comedy show Big Train featured Kevin Eldon playing real musician Ralph McTell, who had a notable hit with the song "Streets Of London". He finishes playing it to a pub crowd, then tells them that he'd like to try a new song, causing Simon Pegg to drop his glass in horror while the audience begins calling for Streets Of London (again), ever louder and more insistently until he's forced to make a mid-song switch. As the audience cheers and claps along, his misery is palpable. | |

The Doubleclicks wrote the song "The Guy Who Yelled Freebird" in response to having heard this request a few too many times - apparently this just made people request it more. Eventually they did record a "Free Bird" cover as a treat for fans after successfully crowdfunding an album, which seems to have done the trick. | |

"PLAY SOME HIP!" Was a frequent cry in Canadian bars in the 1990s; some musicians covered The Tragically Hip and some didn't, though all were pretty annoyed by the request. | |

In the Futurama episode "The Mutants Are Revolting", Devo pledge their support to the mutant revolt and promise to do "everything they can" to support it. A mutant yells "Play 'Whip It'!", to which Mark Mothersbaugh responds "No", and they play 'Beautiful World' instead. | |

In Guitar Hero II, one of the random loading screen messages says, "Remember, NO STAIRWAY!", possibly calling back to Wayne's World. Or commenting on the fact that Harmonix could never license Led Zeppelin songs for Guitar Hero or Rock Bandnote Not that they would grant it anyway.... Possibly even both. | |

Guitar Hero: The audience is occasionally heard trolling your band with requests for "Free Bird". Lampshaded in a loading screen tip which reads "They don't really want you to play 'Free Bird', they're just heckling you." Fast forward to Guitar Hero II, and what's the final encore in career mode? Guess. In Guitar Hero II, one of the random loading screen messages says, "Remember, NO STAIRWAY!", possibly calling back to Wayne's World. Or commenting on the fact that Harmonix could never license Led Zeppelin songs for Guitar Hero or Rock Bandnote Not that they would grant it anyway.... Possibly even both. |

A variation appears in Step Brothers. The band hired to play at a fancy reception is very clear about being a strictly 80s doo-wop Billy Joel cover-band. One member of the audience keeps drunkenly (and abusively) yelling requests for other Billy Joel songs until the leader of the band flips out and they all storm off. Their reaction seems to imply they get heckled like this a lot. | |

Some versions of the Blue Man Group's show actually have a plant in the audience who shouts "Free Bird". The band will start to play the opening notes, and one of the Blue Men will start a Raised Lighter Tribute, only for the whole thing to be cut off as one of the other Blue Men puts the lighter out with a fire extinguisher. | |

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Riker is giving a trombone concert and Troi insists that he play a fictional tune "Nightbird". He reluctantly agrees and then is saved by a summons to the bridge. Although this is less this trope, and more Troi teasing Riker because "Nightbird" is implied to be an incredibly difficult song, as she comments to the person she's attending the performance with that Riker has never been able to make it through the solo section. |
