Songs in the Key of Lock	comment	Using music and musical instruments as security measures. Pianos or similar instruments are common, as you are dealing with keys. Can often be the way to conceal your secret lair by being Hidden in Plain Sight. The tune itself may be significant/ironic, or the Theme Tune or Leitmotif of a character. Subtrope of Solve the Soup Cans. Compare with Musical Trigger. Can be related to Only Smart People May Pass, if actual musical ability is required. Sister Trope to Open Sesame, when the password is a spoken phrase. Examples

The ancient civilization of Tinabula based all its technology around sound, including the sonic superweapon that Klang is after, as well as the city's self-destruct mechanism. Unsurprisingly, they encounter a door early on that is meant to open with a precise musical note: archaeologist Katie Dodd has the perfect pitch necessary to open it, but the hapless mook who tries first isn't so lucky.

It also plays with this trope by occasionally literally using musical instruments as security measures (eg. wedging a door shut with an oboe) - at one point "security measures" is even Pot Holed to a Google Image Search for "woodwind instruments".

The musical element comes from the tones Spire's crystals give off when their electrical charge fades, which the Throne channels via huge cables within the Age.

Playing a certain song (a unique version of Mozart's "KV 617" left in the Parisian Catacombs centuries ago) on this keyboard causes a trapdoor in the floor to open, revealing two swords made of a tungsten alloy, tungsten being the Clue. The trigger even works when a booby-trapped key causes the instrument to explode before the song can be finished.

All angels are born with perfect pitch and singing voices, with which they can pray for all manner of divine intervention - rain or sunshine, cures for plagues, or even a good old-fashioned smiting. Meanwhile, enterprising mortals have come up with musical locking boxes and other such aural toys. The theme of musical control is so heavily emphasized that the nature of the Samarians' god winds up being something of an Un Reveal.

Songs in the Key of Lock / int_5ada53ed	comment	James Bond In For Your Eyes Only, the Identigraph room in Q's lab has a musical lock. The 7-note key is the title passage of "Nobody Does It Better" from The Spy Who Loved Me (2 films earlier); it is less obvious, though, because Q stops after 5 notes and James Bond fills in the final 2 a few seconds later. In Moonraker, access to Drax's base is controlled by a musically coded keypad. The tune is the same five notes used to communicate with the aliens at the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Songs in the Key of Lock / int_69fa7496	comment	Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In a Scrooge McDuck story by Carl Barks that's a riff on The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Scrooge programs his vault so that it can only be opened by playing "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean". Trying to protect his secret by using a wishing well (It Makes Sense in Context), he inadvertently reveals it to the hunchback (who lives near the bottom of the well scooping up the coins people throw in and eavesdropping on their wishes in the process), which kicks off the plot. A DuckTales (1987) comic written for Disney Adventures had a similar plot, in which Scrooge has a voice-activated lock to the vault on his money bin which only opens when it hears him singing the opening lines of "Comin' Through the Rye". And the Beagle Boys just so happen to have a cousin, Baritone Beagle, who's good at impressions...

One of the doors in the vault is covered with the notes of a simple tune. If a PC with the Singing or Music proficiency sings the tune or plays it on a musical instrument, the valve that releases the gas trap will stay sealed for 24 hours, allowing the PCs to explore the vault without being gassed. 2nd Edition AD&D supplement The Ruins of Undermountain II: The Deep Levels. The Undermountain dungeon has a number of Cool Gates that allow access to it. In the Campaign Guide booklet, the table of Random Gate Effects includes a gate that is activated by the playing of a specific musical tune. The 3rd Edition Dungeon Master's Guide mentioned a note played upon a lute as a possible key to open a magical door. Dungeon magazine Issue #49 adventure "Castle of the Blind Sun" has several magical doors which will open only if the notes B, G and C are played in that order on a musical instrument. Issue #63 adventure "Hunt for a Hierophant". The door that leads to the place where the Hierophant druid Leander lies sleeping can only be opened by a specific set of musical notes played on a silver Harp of Charming. In Planescape, gates to other planes can be opened this way.

Songs in the Key of Lock / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Just as when its predecessors in the franchise often removed something barring your progress (except in A Link to the Past), Link's ocarina can be used for the same purpose. Zelda's Lullaby will trigger mechanisms if Link stands on "the Crest of the Royal Family" a.k.a. the Triforce; the Song Of Time removes and summons blocks with the Door Of Time's design on it, starting with the Door Of Time itself; and the Song Of Storms opens up the Bottom Of The Well. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Each of the four temples in Termina requires playing a specific song to open its entrance (or, in one case, simply reach it): "Sonata of Awakening" for Woodfall Temple, "Goron Lullaby" for Snowhead Temple, "New Wave Bossa Nova" for Great Bay Temple, and "Elegy of Emptiness" for Stone Tower Temple. This contrasts the temple songs from Ocarina of Time, which simply warped you to the temples' whereabouts. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: The two temples whose sages empower the Master Sword require Link using the eponymous baton to conduct sacred melodies onto the newly-elected sages so they can open the temples' entrances, as well as inner parts afterward: "Earth God's Lyric" for Earth Temple and "Wind God's Aria" for Wind Temple. Notably, these two songs also make up for the game's title screen theme as well as the credits music. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: The Spirit Flute, which utilizes the DS microphone, has magical properties enabled with the songs learned. Playing duets with the Lokomos help restore the Spirit Tracks, which enable you to go to new areas. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: The "Ballad of the Goddess", when played with the Goddess Harp, activates and opens the Gate of Time in Faron Province. The following three melodies open the entrance spot to the Silent Realm areas for the mainlands of the surface, tailored for the chosen hero. The last melody ("Song of the Hero") grants access to the Silent Realm area of Skyloft and also holds the key to unlock the final dungeon in the game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Compared to previous games, the game has a reduced presence of this trope. One of the Ancient Shrines, located in an area close to Rito Village in Tabantha, requires a quintet of Rito girls to sing in a specific order (and be assisted by Link waving a Korok Leaf to bring wind onto holey stones) in order to erect it.

Unfortunately, Archie accidentally locks him inside the vault, tuning fork included. A variant ensues as Archie and his friends free him by reproducing the "way-out sound" with their rock band instruments; it turns out there's no sound the Archies don't hit sooner or later.

Catwoman, having had piano lessons, played that out with ease and then continued...showing the hidden parts of the room. In "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich", another puzzle, this one courtesy of the Riddler, featured a door and three keys, labelled "A", "C" and "D". Batman tries the "D" key, which releases two saw blades that he and Robin dodge. He's about to try the "A", when Robin stops him saying that will release three blades. This is because they are based on major scales; the scale in the key of C has no sharps, and safely opens the door.

The original game has the piano room, where clicking portraits on the wall will produce different tunes for you to repeat; completing them all opens the door to the outside. The second game has the organ room, where you need to repeat several tunes in order to unlock the passage to the second floor. Another floor has a puzzle requiring you to put several musical instruments in proper order, indicated by a book found in the library. The third game has another organ-like instrument, where the same sequence-repeating type of puzzle protects several items you need to obtain.

When the Note-All eats Piggy's singing, as well, she decides to go free her friends. When physical keys don't unlock the bars, Rowlf suggests a musical key. When Piggy hits high C, the bars open.

The villain was not amused. The lock stops recording after the first line, "Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money," which means that this is the actual key (as ironically befits a massive vault that contains valuable mementos, not real valuables). The parents only sing the rest of the verse out of nostalgia and a need to be saccharine.

Then to enter The Maze, you have to play the five ambient sounds in the proper order. Furthermore, the sounds in the maze indicate the compass direction you need to go. All the Myst games seem to have at least one sound puzzle each. In Riven, the combination to unlock Catherine's cell is revealed by listening to Gehn's watch. Riven also has the overarching animal-sounds puzzle that is scattered across the islands. There are five balls with a D'ni number carved in them, and each makes a Riven animal sound when spun (using at least one fictional animal.) The code makes perfect sense, as it would only be understandable by someone well-versed in both Riven and D'ni culture (it was intended for Atrus, but the player will figure it out eventually.) Myst IV: Revelation involves using Sirrus' Spider Throne to vibrate four different pieces of minerals, so that all of them being pushed out of their literal "locks" deploys a bridge to a bomb factory. The musical element comes from the tones Spire's crystals give off when their electrical charge fades, which the Throne channels via huge cables within the Age.

Songs in the Key of Lock / int_f15f622e	comment	There's an episode of MacGyver ("The Heist") featuring an ultra-high-tech (for the time) lock which requires four tones emitted by a remote control. This being MacGyver, he improvises by playing some wineglasses.

Songs in the Key of Lock / int_f6b79960	comment	Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors: Unlocking the exit door to the First Class Cabin requires playing a piano. After collecting the sheet music, it's revealed that the piano is tuned incorrectly, so the actual puzzle is matching the proper notes to their altered locations. It's actually one of the easiest puzzles in the game, as the set of keys you're able to choose from is quite small, and after playing the first line correctly, the game completes the rest of the song for you. Notable in that the piece of music played isn't a character theme, scare chord, or in any way related to the game's soundtrack, but the Westminster Chimes. This prompts a comment from one of your companions as to Zero's motives and nothing else.
