An entire song (or sometimes just a single line of the lyrics) which deliberately provides an example of whatever the subject is, usually for comedic effect. Compare I Resemble That Remark!, This Is a Song, Heavy Meta , [Trope Name], and Boastful Rap (as most of that features this trope). |

In Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper, the pauper-turned-princess and her etiquette master have a song detailing what a princess must do. One of the pieces of advice is "always harmonize in thirds". Guess what they do on that line. | |

X-Men: First Class: Although Édith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" serves as Shaw's Leitmotif, the title (which can be roughly translated as "Life Through Rose-Tinted Glasses") is actually an apt description of how the optimistic Xavier perceives the world. | |

X-Men Film Series: X-Men: First Class: Although Édith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" serves as Shaw's Leitmotif, the title (which can be roughly translated as "Life Through Rose-Tinted Glasses") is actually an apt description of how the optimistic Xavier perceives the world. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" is featured in the Pentagon kitchen scene. When you read the lyrics (which is about a man who wishes he could save time and spend it with his beloved), it basically reflects the elderly Erik's profound regret when he tells Charles (whom he loves as a brother), "All those years wasted fighting each other, Charles. To have a precious few of them back..." X-Men: Apocalypse: Quicksilver listens to the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" while in Bullet Time. The song itself spells out the plot in more ways than one. "Traveled the world and the seven seas, everybody is looking for something" refers to En Sabah Nur teleporting around the globe to recruit followers and offering them something they desire. "Some of them want to use you / Some of them want to abuse you" summarizes the entire interaction between Apocalypse and Xavier. |

In The French Connection, Popeye goes into a nightclub where a girl group is singing a song called "Everybody Gets to Go to the Moon", which is actually original to the French Connection soundtrack. Here are some of the lyrics in the chorus: The next time the chorus comes around the song uses "June" instead of "spoon." |

The Who: "Getting in Tune" has fairly self-demonstrating verses, but the first one stands out. "Guitar and Pen" is about songwriting, and contains a few self-demonstrating gags. |

The song "Montage" from South Park (and later, Team America: World Police) facilitates this trope by describing the exact narrative devices and reasoning behind Montages while the viewer actually watches a montage on-screen. | |
