A specific musical cue—not in the BGM, but in actual music being played by someone or something In-Universe—serves as the trigger for some event. The more dramatic the event, the more likely that the trigger occurs at the end of the song, in which case the song functions as a melodic (and quantum-mechanical-anomaly-proof) form of the Dramatic Countdown Clock. Diabolical Masterminds are particularly prone to incorporating music into their master plan. Maybe manipulating a public performance to their own ends is their way of showing off their Chessmaster cred, or maybe they're just Wicked Cultured. The downside of this, of course, is that any hero can bring the plan crashing down simply by disrupting the song. The Xylophone Gag is a very specific subtrope of this. If the song itself is harmful, it's a Brown Note. If the song is part of a magical spell, it's Magic Music. If the song opens a door, it's an example of Songs in the Key of Lock. May involve a Cacophony Cover Up. |

In Dreamfall: The Longest Journey the only way for Zoë to get out of the cave under Marcuria is to play a certain tune in order to open a secret door. So how can you guess the tune? It is hummed by the grubbers you encounter at the beginning of the level. If you kill them, you have only one more chance to hear it, which happens before you even know that there is a secret door. The same secret door comes up in the sequel too, but here the game is more merciful. Crow sings the tune to Kian every time Kian fails to replicate it properly. | |

Eagle Eye: The pentultimate trumpet note of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is the signal for the detonator. Also an example of poor research, as the same note is played much earlier... "And the rocket's red glare." But then, the bad guys specifically arranged for that last note to be extra-long. |

Extremely subtle, but most Dark Souls bosses are this. Each one has it's own theme, and the bosses move to the rhythm of their theme. It's also no the soundtrack, but ambient music (which means the character must be hearing it: often because the boss themself is making the sound). This is part of the games series' "tough but fair" design, because the player eventually starts to feel the boss's rhythm. Most obvious with the Dancer of the Boreal Valley, because her theme music is very noticeable and (being an optional boss) she's even more challenging than usual. | |

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A standard "explosion" gag, where the cartoon's antagonist — trying to blow up his foe — attempts to attach dynamite or other explosives to a certain key, hoping that his unwary opponent will press it while playing the song, always "Those Endearing Young Charms." However, the good guy keeps up his guard and (perhaps intentionally) plays the incorrect note to avoid pressing the wrong key; after a few attempts, the frustrated antagonist will shoo off his opponent and demonstrate the correct playing of the song ... always leading to playing the rigged note and taking the explosion. Classic-era Warner Bros. appearances include "Ballot Box Bunny," "Show Biz Bugs" and "Rushing Roulette." The Looney Tunes use was Lampshaded and played with in Animaniacs, where Slappy Squirrel is presented with an obviously rigged xylophone. Both she and her nephew Skippy are Genre Savvy to the old cartoon trope, but against Skippy's protests Slappy plays "Those Endearing Young Charms" anyway — and she somehow makes the antagonist explode twenty feet away when she hits the trigger keys. It then becomes a Brick Joke when the antagonist later crashes into the xylophone and falling nuts start hitting the keys... |

Season 1 of The Sinner starts with Cora Tanetti suddenly murdering a man on the beach when a song that his girlfriend played from the man's college band is played. Another episode has Detective Harry Ambrose play the same music to her, making her attack him in the same exact positions she stabbed the man to death. It's because that song was playing when, during a drug-fueled orgy she took her sick little sister to, that song was playing and the sister died in the middle of it and he ended up crushing her chest trying to give her CPR and she attacked believing he killed her. | |

Inverted in BioShock. Sander Cohen ties a former student of his to a piano, which is rigged to explode unless the performer successfully plays a specific song composed by Cohen. Unfortunately, "Cohen's Masterpiece" is a song specifically designed to be nigh-impossible for a pianist to complete, and missing too many notes causes the bomb to go off. It goes off. | |

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?", a door has three possible keys, labelled "A, C, and D". The D key causes two blades to fly at Batman and Robin. When Batman tries to use the A key, Robin stops him, saying there will be three blades—the Key of A and the Key of D have three and two sharps, respectively. The correct answer is the Key of C, which has no sharps. They get through the puzzle. | |

An episode of Get Smart featured a cannon that would fire at the climax of Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture. In another episode, titled "Weekend Vampire," this was also the secret behind the mysterious vampire killer; he used a special modified oboe to fire two poisoned needles into the victim's neck when he played high C. |

In Inception, the team uses "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" by Édith Piaf to time their awakening from the lower dream levels. At the end of the song, their accomplice on the first level will crash the van they are all in into the river. They need the musical countdown due to the time dilation effect. | |
