That Reminds Me of a Song	comment	Mainly a product of The Musical. This trope most often occurs when a composer wrote a really keen song. Or if there is a big star in the movie who must have a solo. Or the director has a favorite song that he wants to put in the movie. Unfortunately, there is really no way to inject the song into the story in the traditional "burst into song" way. So, the writer often gives us the immortal line "That reminds me of a song," or "I feel a song coming on!" in some occasions, or something similar and the character sits down at a piano or hops up on the stage to sing a little ditty that has... no plot significance whatsoever. ("Let's rehearse the ___ number" or "Let's film our music video" or "Let's dance to ___" and then doing exactly that are also popular.) At its most basic, this is a song sung just to kill time, with a fairly thin excuse. The song doesn't tell us anything about the characters or the setting, it doesn't advance the plot, it doesn't serve any obvious purpose at all besides filling out the running time. If the song does have subtext, exposition, or plot-related action, and thus plot significance, it's Suspiciously Apropos Music. The "out of the blue" musical number is a cliche often associated with Indian or "Bollywood" motion pictures. There is an incorrect stereotype that suggests every Bollywood film needs to have one or more musical numbers featuring upbeat songs that have little or no relation to the plot, usually featuring an attractive young singer. The term for this is an Item Number. There are enough Bollywood films without musical numbers to make this a discredited stereotype, but "That Reminds Me of a Song" is still a trope often associated with the genre. Frequent justifications include having some or all of the characters be actors or actresses, or setting one of the scenes at a nightclub or similar. It may also overlap with Hey, Let's Put on a Show, giving the characters an opportunity to "rehearse" the numbers they'll need to perform. A small-scale variation on the Show Within a Show. A similar variation will pop up in a Biopic of a musician, as we'll get to see them performing and practicing their Greatest Hits. It still shows up here and there, often as the Breakaway Pop Hit, but is mostly a Discredited Trope. Modern musicals are specifically not supposed to do this anymore, except as a parody. For a more advanced version of this trope, one that is so out-of-nowhere that it borders on a Mind Screw, yet is never treated as anything the least bit weird by the characters and never mentioned again, see Big-Lipped Alligator Moment. When the characters are annoyed by this song In-Universe, see Musical Number Annoyance. See also Silly Song, where the characters don't even try to justify the singing, and Profound by Pop Song, where one quotes a song to feign wisdom.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_23945975	comment	Surprisingly, the Disney Animated Canon has avoided this for the most part. Though some have argued that a few qualify. "Trashing the Camp" from Tarzan.note Interestingly, the filmmakers were aware of this, and considered cutting the song/sequence several times for that reason, but decided to leave it in because the song was just that catchy. "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat" from The Aristocats. And Snow White's "Whistle While You Work." Though in that case, it's more of a tune Snow White sings while... well, working, obviously. Neither of the songs added to Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King for their Turn of the Millennium Platinum Edition DVD and VHS releases, BatB's "Human Again" and TLK's "Morning Report", exactly advanced the plot, or provided much if any character development. Consequently, they disappeared again for the 3D conversions, and the prints and home video releases struck from the same masters.note Plus, the BatB 25th Anniversary Edition DVD only includes the 2010 restoration of the Original Theatrical Version, while the 2D Blu-Ray and Digital HD copy released under the same banner (Disney didn't release a 3D disc under it) bury the Extended Edition in the extras. Lampshaded in Moana, when the greedy, self-absorbed Giant Enemy Crab Tamatoa feels the need to talk about how great he is "in song form" and breaks into his Villain Song "Shiny". Justified in that Maui had Moana make him do so as a diversion to get his hook back so he can shapeshift again, and ultimately subverted when Maui turns out to be out of practice, leading Tamatoa to turn it into a "The Hero Sucks" Song while delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle.

Most of the songs were removed in subsequent revisions, although that's more because Dakari-King Mykan believed that they were the reason the older versions were removed, as Fanfiction.net has a (rarely-enforced) rule against using copyrighted songs. As DeviantArt does not have the same limitations, that version retains the songs. Friendship is Failure and other fics by Mykan also regularly use and abuse this trope.

"The Fourth Wall" has a scene in which Beast Boy attempts to sing a song called "Underpants Dance" as a Cutaway Gag. "Thanksgetting" has a scene in which Beast Boy sings about his love of poop while they are saying what they are thankful for. Robin is disgusted by this.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_2f3aa7ef	comment	Appears in the various incarnations of My Little Pony; the most recent series, Friendship Is Magic, actually averts the previous trend of having the ponies burst into song Once per Episode. Thus far, Cloudcuckoolander Pinkie Pie appears to be the designated song starter, and had this lampshaded with her first cue in "Elements of Harmony": Later, in "Dragonshy", Twilight asks the others to help Fluttershy across a crevasse, leading to Pinkie instantly bursting into a (very silly) song about jumping across crevasses. This only serves to shorten Twilight's rapidly fraying temper. Lampshaded again in "Bridle Gossip": Later in the episode, when Pinkie Pie has lost her ability to speak due to a curse, she asks Fluttershy, who has been cursed to have a comically deep voice, to sing it for her. It's something of a running gag that although sometimes other ponies will join in on the rare occasions that someone other than Pinkie Pie starts a song — to the point of an outright Crowd Song in "The Best Night Ever" — no-one will ever join in on Pinkie Pie's songs, and the usual result is the other ponies watching in something between fear and bewilderment. Another lampshading in "A Friend in Deed". Part of Pinkie's "checklist" to making a new friend is "sing random song out of nowhere". And the trope's played with in her initial song in that episode, which manages to draw in half of Ponyville (averting the usual course of things) and would perfectly offset the plot if there were any plot yet. As all we see before the song turns out to be a warm-up to the song, the sheer magnitude of the performance comes entirely out of nowhere. That being said, the entire song is one big lead-up to a gag. As the song is about how she's able to bring a smile out of anyone and spends three minutes of the episode proving her point, the gag would be that there is someone present who has a big scowl instead appearing at the very end of the song. "Over a Barrel" manages to deconstruct this, when Pinkie's performance makes the situation worse. Twice. The first, the buffalo chief and the sheriff say that that was the worst performance they have ever seen, and the chief decides the next day they will stampede. When they do, the chief has second thoughts, and looks like he's not going to go through with it, until Pinkie starts singing again, which causes him to go through with it. In "Rarity takes Manehattan", Rainbow Dash expresses her dislike for this trope. A musical number begins shortly after.

Of course this is also playing it straight since without it she would be off-stage for most of the second act. Though this one is not a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, as she does mention how she's been away "for far too long" (quoting her last number) the next time she talks to Arthur. The song "Finland", however, is a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, as it's not even remotely related to anything else in the play, only existing because the performers misheard the narrator when he was talking about England.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_5018e5dd	comment	Similar to The Music Man above, in an episode of South Park the boys discover that Cartman has to sing "Come Sail Away" to completion if someone else starts singing it in his presence. Naturally, they get a lot of mileage tormenting him with this, and Cartman begins singing the song as quickly as possible to get through it. The show's earlier seasons feature a Running Gag of the main gang lamenting to Chef about their problems, who offers to "sing a little song" to help them out. Unfortunately, since Chef is a Lovable Sex Maniac, all of his advice ends up devolving into his singing about "making sweet love down by the fire": for instance, a song about accepting people despite their differences turns into a celebration of women's bodies. It helps that Chef was voiced by Isaac Hayes, whose own career was based on songs of that nature.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_5ec3a015	comment	Disney's Adventures in Wonderland is notorious for this, though that may be because in the source material, the characters often recite poetry and song. That doesn't make the songs in the show any less strange or sudden, though, especially because every episode has to feature at least three and usually four songs. A prime example is "TV or Not TV," which features some of the Wonderlanders getting hooked on television; because watching TV is a rather passive activity, two of the episode's four songs occur like this: Alice speaks to the Mad Hatter about an upcoming softball game. The Hatter remarks that he picked his position on the team because he's "always out in left field." Cue a song about the Hatter being nuts, complete with surreal imagery. He then moves on as if nothing had happened. Later, Alice visits the White Rabbit, who's just received an order from his Book of the Month Club. They begin to sing "Look! A Book!", all about the joy of reading — which has nothing to do with the plot at hand. And as before, no comment is made about this.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_6276800c	comment	The Nostalgia Critic: Mocked by then Critic in his review of Rock-A-Doodle (which in itself is guilty of this) with a brief sendup of this phenomenon: "I'm tal-king! / I'm tal-king! / I'm drin-king / my cof-fee!" Critic later performs one himself in his Judge Dredd review, complete with can-can dancers in Judge Dredd helmets: "LAAAAAAW LAW LAW LAW LAW LAW-LAW / LAW LAW LAW LAW LAW-LAW / LAW LAW LAW LAW LAW / LAW LAW LAW LAW LAW LAW LAW!" He shows disdain for the endless singing in Quest for Camelot. As he said, does everyone in the movie have to sing? And why sing when you're in pain? Hell, in his later review for The Pebble and the Penguin, he attempts suicide after one too many pointless musical numbers. Invoked in To Boldly Flee when The Nostalgia Chick and Kyle sneak aboard Zod and Turl's ship, disguised as Ursa and Non. Zod encourages them, pretty much for no reason, to sing the number one Kryptonian hit from 1983. Though possibly simultaneously a subversion, since the song is titled "Distraction", while the rest of the crew infiltrates the enemy ship. Might still count as this, since Kyle wanted to do it just for the chance to sing, despite the numerous other ways they could distract the enemy. Of course, since he was disguised as Non, he ends up blowing their cover.

After Jeff fails to get tickets to LFO's show, Devin and Brad show up at the office in a Contrived Coincidence—but every time it seems like they're about to break into song, they change the subject. They offer to sing about what happened to their bus...only to realize that it'll be faster to just say it ("Our fan belt broke"). They ask if anyone in the gang likes to party...and then say they were simply curious. They spot a guitar leaning against the wall and offer to show off with it...then Devin uses it as a weight for bench pressing.

The protagonists are captured by the villainous Barnaby, who unleashes a vial of concentrated evil (a rather literal example of Sealed Evil in a Can in the form of green gas) to transform them into his wicked servants. While Mary Contrary, Jack Nimble, and Georgie Porgie begin to succumb to the effects of the gas, Lisa discovers that she is immune to it — and realizes it's because "I'm from Cincinnati!" She then bursts into "C-I-N-C-I-N-N-A-T-I," a song about the city, and encourages everyone to sing along to help her friends clear their minds and free themselves from the evil fumes. It works.

For instance, "And Your Bird Can Sing" is a sarcastic send-up of a man who boasts about his girlfriend ("bird" being Liverpool slang for "girl")note or maybe not; the Word Salad Lyrics are hard to decipher, but in the cartoon it's about a literal bird that the Beatles are trying to catch. . . and, viewed in this context, the lyrics don't make a whole lot of sense.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_9fe68540	comment	In a typical episode of Today's Special, the characters will burst out singing a few times, so this happens often. Some examples: "In the Twinkle" from "Hair". It has nothing to do with the episode's plot or subject (learning about hair) and is just an excuse for Jeff to do a beautiful song and dance on the roof. "When I Was Young" from "Halloween". As Jodie and Sam remember the past, they get off topic and sing about their childhoods, with nothing in the lyrics related to Halloween.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_acfbff0a	comment	In Once Upon a Studio: Version 2.0, Cinderella and Rapunzel, having watched Goofy's botched first attempt at the group photo, are eager to restore everyone's morale. As they head downstairs to initiate a successful second attempt, Cinderella quickly gives Rapunzel the idea to perform the one song that defines Disney more than any other; "When You Wish Upon a Star". After Cinderella puts everyone at ease with a Rousing Speech, Fairy Godmother creates a guitar for Rapunzel, which she eagerly takes. Rapunzel then begins playing "When You Wish Upon a Star", and Cinderella is the first to sing, truly cementing her status as not only leader of the Princesses, but arguably as Disney's kindest and most supportive character, always eager to help in times of need. This rendition steadily gains more and more momentum, as more characters join in and even step in to help Goofy undo his earlier mistake. This version eventually becomes even more epic than that of the existing OUAS, as virtually every single character joins in for the final verse. Cinderella and the Prince even cap this off as they gently sing the opening line to their own tune; "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes", before Rapunzel and Eugene sing the opening to the chorus for "I See The Light", and Aladdin and Jasmine do the same for "A Whole New World", before everyone proudly sings the final line "Your dreams come true!", as the photo is finally created.

In one episode, Cam drops an American flag out of his apartment window just to block Frasier's balcony view; when Frasier complains, Cam builds support for himself by singing a patriotic song. It somewhat makes sense, but it feels more like an excuse to have Mitchell sing than anything else.

But if you skip straight to the solution of that puzzle instead of hearing the song out, you're severely missing the point of these games.

That Reminds Me of a Song / int_ef894e37	comment	Deliberately avoided in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in general - the creators have said they always try to derive the song from the actual emotional arcs of the characters in the episode. However, some are a bit less relevant than others. "California Christmastime" occurs during the Christmas Episode but doesn't really relate to the characters very strongly; Bloom was uncertain about keeping it, but decided the show needed a Crowd Song after almost everything up til this point had been a solo, especially since this would be the last episode to air before a long break and it seemed a good idea to end on a positive note. (Though she did joke that she would prefer all songs on the show to involve a single character in the spotlight singing about suicide.) Even more to the point is "Heavy Boobs" - Bloom wanted to do a song satirising the sexualisation of big boobs for a long time, and kind of deliberately wrote the plot of the episode so as to give them a place to put it in (Rebecca is being self-deprecating to make Valencia feel more comfortable and ends up trying on a wedding dress to show how weird her big chest would look in it, leading to Valencia trying it on and Paula's sabotage).
