What occurs when characters who are normally at least somewhat straight-laced decide to shake things up and get down with their bad selves to, well, a Silly Song. The characters don't even have to be singing the song themselves. Someone unseen or offscreen could be singing it, or it could obviously be playing on a radio or stereo or over a P.A. Whatever the case, the characters will (sometimes literally) drop whatever they're doing and break into a boisterous (and, uh, totally spontaneous) dance sequence (or maybe some rollicking slapstick or acrobatics) that never fails to get the audience right into the mood along with them. It is often accompanied with crazy visuals that are different from the rest of the work. When the song is over, the characters will almost always simply resume their previous activities as if they'd never stopped performing them. Pretty much obligatory in any musical (and not just in the Western world, either). If the entire show is silly, this is the number that is by far the silliest. It can overlap with Villain Song if sung by a Laughably Evil character. |

Season 5 of Miraculous Ladybug uses the song "Snapping My Fingers" twice: First, in "Deflagration" Big Bad Gabriel spontaneously dances to the song when he discovers the Secret Identity of the two new holders of the Miraculouses. Gabriel is otherwise an extremely serious man, and even his hammier Alter Ego Monarch has never broken out in song and dance in the main series. His dancing stops and the music peters out when he nearly bumps into his assistant Nathalie. The Song Remains the Same this time, so the fact that it's suddenly Gratuitous French makes it even more jarring in dubs. Later, in "Emotion" Felix properly sings the song as he snaps people away with the power of his Amok. It's a Translated Cover Version now, so while it's at least understandable for viewers who don't speak French, it's really no more expected than before because the series isn't normally a musical and the rest of the episode doesn't have characters randomly bursting into song, nor is Felix a music-themed character so it's not like singing is part of his powers. It's just a catchy ditty. |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame: "Topsy Turvy." (Also maybe "A Guy Like You," although in context that's more of an "I Am Becoming" Song.) | |

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: "The Silly Song" is the Trope Namer, in a scene where the dwarfs and Snow White are partying. The lyrics contain a Lampshade Hanging on how nonsensical the song is (see the page quote). | |

In the film version of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, "By the Sea" is this, mainly due to the bright and beautiful imagery, which dramatically clashes with the rest of the film's grime and darkness, and the fact that it's a cannibal singing about how she'd like to settle down and live by the beach. The hilarity is compounded by Sweeney thoroughly not getting into the musical number. | |

"Blunt the Knives" in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. When Bilbo complains about the dwarves' table manners, they burst into a song where they mock him. The film is otherwise not a musical, and features only one other, much more serious song (not counting a few lines sung by Gollum and the Great Goblin). The scene and the song were also in the book, but it features much more songs and poems, so this particular one stands out a lot less. | |

The Muppets (2011) features Tex Richman's impromptu rap, doubling as a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment and a Villain Song. Keep in mind that Tex Richman is, for the remainder of the movie, a very serious and brooding character. The ridiculousness of what just happened is quickly lampshaded. | |

Right before the final level in Control, Jesse walks into a room in the Oceanview Motel, and immediately sees Dr. Darling singing "Dynamite", doing silly dances and wearing goofy 80s outfits. The only thing Jesse can do is laugh. | |
