Spoofing in the Rain	comment	A Stock Parody in the Musical and Comedy genre. Whenever it starts raining you may rest assured that someone will begin to sing and dance around, often in the vicinity of a street and a lantern post, on which he will swing himself around. Musical lightpost spins (even without rain) are a common allusion that make their way into all sorts of media. Always a Shout-Out to Gene Kelly in his iconic song and dance number in Singin' in the Rain (1952), even though the song itself is much older and was used in other Hollywood musicals before, though not quite as memorable.

Spoofing in the Rain / int_468bebb0	comment	In the Discworld novel Moving Pictures, there's a scene where movie mogul CMOT Dibbler is gripped by the Magic of Holy Wood and starts singing and dancing in the rain, swinging off lampposts and bemusing a passing policeman just like Gene Kelly. Notably, because the Magic of Holy Wood can do only so much, he's not celebrating being in love but the imminent debut of his biggest box office success yet.

Spoofing in the Rain / int_4c99197e	comment	The Muppet Show: When Gene Kelly was a guest on the show in 1981, the Muppets wanted him to perform "Singin' in the Rain", but before the show starts, Kelly informs them that he won't do it, since the people are "sick of that song by now", causing a mass panic among the Muppets. Eventually he gave in and sang it backstage. When Rich Little was a guest in 1978, he performed the song—in raincoats—along with Fozzie Bear. The film is referenced a lot in Jim Henson's work. It comes as no surprise that Kermit named it his favorite movie during a 1991 CNN interview.

This isn't present in the original novel, and was ad-libbed by Malcolm McDowell — reportedly no royalties were paid for it either. Gene Kelly was angry about this usage and once refused to shake hands with McDowell as a result.

Yeah yeah, or drinking a beer that has some guy's sperm in it." referring to infamous moments of the first two American Pie. So there's three of his ancestors in the film business facing similar beer situations, including a Singin' in the Rain spoof with him singing "There's semen in the beer..." One time when Joseph Gordon-Levitt hosted SNL, he actually re-enacted "Make 'Em Laugh", complete with getting knocked over by boards and doing backflips off of walls.
