They have one song to sing, and they'll sing it in practically every scene they're in. This may annoy the audience, and even annoy the characters if they do it several times in one scene.

Those Lacking Spines gives us Jeffiroth's choir. Every time someone says his name, they will inevitably sing "JEFFIROTH!" in a manner similar to that of the Nobuo Uematsu piece from Final Fantasy VII known as "One-Winged Angel," which was notable for the chorus shouting "Sephiroth!" multiple times as part of the lyrics. Even after Jeffiroth is defeated, the choir still sings it at his name's mention.

In Bye Bye Birdie, Conrad Birdie's fan girls keep on singing:
Fans of The Beatles completely missed the point and made their own version for John, Paul, George, and Ringo. And sang it to them. "We love you, Beatles..."
The film adaptation had a second version sung by the boys about how much they hated Conrad Birdie.

The national anthem of Anvilania in an Animaniacs cartoon, which is such a boring dirge that it is used as a weapon later on.

A possibly accidental example in Jekyll & Hyde with "Facade" and its reprises sung by the chorus. The Broadway production had five but some versions pare it down to three or two.

Muppets Tonight:
Used as a running gag in an episode where the characters keep mentioning Istanbul and Constantinople as though they were two different places, and every time they do, a band of rats dressed up as Turks pop up from nowhere to sing the penultimate verse of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)".
Another episode had a chorus of Whatnots pop up to sing a variation of "Whip It Good".
The Sandra Bullock episode features a sketch that takes place in a psychiatrist's office. In it, Kermit tells the psychiatrist (played by Bullock) that he keeps seeing strange creatures every time he says the word "phenomena". Cue the Snowths. Shortly after, Bullock's character tries it out, and at one point starts to go into Mahna Mahna-esque scatting.

Father Ted once featured a disco where the DJ for the night has forgotten his records, leaving him with just "Ghost Town" by The Specials, so he can only play that tune over and over, even in lieu of the national anthem.

In the musical Wonderful Town, Ruth wants to interview a group of Brazilian sailors, but they want her to teach them how to do the Conga first. She shows them how, and then starts rattling off her questions (in song), but is interrupted every fourth line by their shouts of "Conga!" and increasingly wild singing and dancing. She tries to get them to stop and listen to her, but is in the end literally carried away by the Crowd Song.

Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Vikings from the Spam sketch. "Lovely Spam, wonderful Spaaaaam..." "Bloody Vikings!"
Done also in the "Cheese Shop" sketch, where there's a Greek band playing a song in the background, until Cleese turns around and screams "SHUT THAT BLOODY BOUZOUKI UP!"

The national anthem of Freedonia in Duck Soup.
Similarly the chorus of "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" in Animal Crackers repeatedly interrupts Groucho's attempts to speak in one scene. In the end he decides to interrupt himself before they get a chance.
