This trope is most common in musicals, but is not strictly relegated to only musical fare.
You have a happy-go-lucky or other highly charismatic character who is getting everyone around him/her all excited about whatever it is they're excited about.
Then there's the one character who isn't swept up. They're worried that everyone is all excited and not thinking it through. They are concerned that there's something shady under all the happy excitement. They're just grumpy and think all this excitement is too silly and twitterpated.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })But as the song/scene goes on, the excitement spreads, and the enthusiasm grows. The lone holdout will find themselves going along and either catch themselves with embarrassment and stop — or will not catch themselves and end up going with the flow.
Compare with Not So Above It All and Got Me Doing It.

In Beauty and the Beast, Cogsworth is the only character who thinks that everyone else singing "Be Our Guest" and treating Belle with food behind the Beast's back is a bad idea and tries to stop them. He eventually joins in on the singing and dancing near the song's end.

Enchanted: Giselle starts singing "That's How You Know" — Robert is embarrassed and annoyed. Then he's shocked when the local musician buskers join her. By the time Giselle has gotten most of Central Park involved, he's sarcastically playing along. By the final chorus, though, he's smiling and bobbing his head along with the tune, until he catches himself with a mortified "what the hell am I doing?!" expression.
