Anyone fluent in music knows that sheet is a complex writing system that takes months to learn to read. In drawn fiction, when someone plays an instrument or sings or whistles, the music is "seen" as eighth notes (♪), or quavers, regardless of what's being played or sung. Mostly a single eighth note with the stem up, but there can be the occasional pair of eighth notes sharing a flag. It's so prevalent that many computer character sets include it, including Unicode. Cartoonists untrained in music love this trope, mostly because an eighth note is immediately and unambiguously recognizable by laity as musical notation. Also, it's one of the most common markings in written melodies. Video Games tends to also use them in order to represent singing in a work without voice-acting. The alternative symbols to denote music, or give them a bit of melodic harmony would be the beamed eighth notes (♫) and the G-clef (�). Note that it's only an example of this trope if the eighth notes explicitly represent the presence of music in one way or another. Simply being there isn't enough for it to be an example of this trope. |

Zig-zagged in Peanuts: Sometimes Schroeder's piano playing will be represented by one or two eighth notes, usually when the joke is Snoopy or another character interacting with them as though they're physical. Other times it will be a full Beethoven score, with the joke being that he's somehow playing this on a toy piano. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask plays with this trope by having the Zora offspring be the eighth notes. More specifically, they arrange themselves in a certain way, then pose as eighth notes (Zora offspring resemble tadpoles in terms of appearance) so that they could teach Link a new song. | |

Kirby series: The jukebox feature of Kirby: Triple Deluxe has eight notes coming from the visible jukebox on the top screen while a piece of in-game music plays (as well as, oddly enough, treble clefs). One of the miniboss Mr. Tick-Tock's attacks involve sending eighth notes towards Kirby. Kirby needs to use these notes to attack him if he fights Mr. Tick-Tock without a copy ability. Mr. Tick-Tock is an example of this trope because he gives the Mike ability upon being inhaled (a copy ability that involves Kirby "singing" into three different types of microphones). The recurring mike enemy Walky attacks by singing a "tasteless tune" (represented by eighth notes and, more recently, treble clefs) to his opponents. |
