For the best reading experience, play the music from this video while reading. In movies and TV shows (regardless of genre), when a character gets onto an elevator for any reason, the music playing on its speaker system will almost always be some instrumental version of "The Girl from Ipanema" by the great Bossa Nova musician Antônio Carlos Jobim. (If not, it will probably be the "Theme from 'A Summer Place'," most likely referencing a comfortable break from the action.) note And very occasionally, it's "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" – which must be very gratifying to the estate of Vince Guaraldi! This trope's ubiquity can be traced back to such directors as John Landis, who used it as an in-joke for every scene he shot inside an elevator in his movies. In Real Life, of course, it was once a common practice for elevators to have soft instrumental music piped in as a means of calming the nerves of jittery or claustrophobic passengers. Similar background music was also widely played in office waiting rooms, restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, and shopping malls, and even on radio via the "beautiful music" format. The music itself was generally a mix of light orchestral, bossa nova, Fifties-esque lounge, and smooth jazz; the main commonality to these genres being that they were all made to blend into the background, as a kind of aural wallpaper, rather than be actively listened to. This fell out of favor in the 1990s, however, and since that time the smaller number of places (including the relatively few elevators) that still have piped-in music at all will generally use the original recordings of songs rather than instrumental versions, making this largely a Forgotten Trope (as well as a Dead Horse Trope in the case of this particular song). Still, even to this day lots of films and TV shows will add in music when composing elevator scenes, in part because of the Rule of Funny (people looking straight ahead and not talking to one another while soothing music plays is inherently quite funny), in part because audiences still expect the music, and in part to avert Dead Air, which can make the elevator ride somewhat uncomfortable to watch (unless that's the intention of the filmmaker). That said, the familiar genre still survives on a few commercial services like SiriusXM satellite radio ("Escape"), Music Choice ("Easy Listening"), and Mood Media ("Easy Instrumentals"), ready to be piped into elevators once again at a moment's notice. Usually an integral part of an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment. Compare Relax-o-Vision, which often employs instrumental music to a similar effect. |

After a couple of playthroughs of The Stanley Parable, you can open the door opposite the boss's office. This leads to an elevator which goes nowhere and does nothing, except it shakes a bit to give the illusion of movement and you hear Ipanema-style music playing ("The Elevator Bossa Nova"). | |

The Life, a Halo fanfiction, has several scenes when the characters have to take an elevator. So far, every single elevator scene has had a muzak arrangement playing in the background. There's usually lots of Lampshade Hanging from the characters involved. In fact, the A.I. running the main character's ship plays elevator music on all ship elevators with the intention of invoking this. | |

Homestuck's sixth volume album features a track called Elevatorstuck which remixes the Homestuck Theme into the style of this trope, though the flashes in which it was ultimately used had nothing to do with elevators.

Stargate-verse: In an outtake for Stargate Atlantis Season 4, the actors are huddled in a corner of a Wraith set (a teleportation room in the corresponding episode). This looks so much like an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment that David Hewlett starts humming "The Girl from Ipanema", cracking up the others. This trope is also averted in an episode of Stargate SG-1. Sam Carter and Jack O'Neill are standing in one of the lifts at the SGC, having a bit of an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment, and Sam starts humming the show's Theme Song. Behind-the-scene commentary reveals that Amanda Tapping originally wanted this to be the theme song for MacGyver (as an Actor Allusion to Richard Dean Anderson), but nobody could remember it right. In the Stargate Universe episode "Epilogue", the elevator at the Teneran archives, which were created by the descendants of stranded 21st century Earth time-travelers, plays a Suspiciously Similar Song to "The Girl from Ipanema". |

One level in Revolution X (featuring Aerosmith) has brief interludes in an elevator; the music that plays is, fittingly, a muzak version of "Love in an Elevator". | |

Mass Effect: The Space Elevators in Mass Effect come complete with Space Muzak. Specifically, they're all muzak arrangements of several of the more dramatic pieces from the game. Which makes them a lot less dramatic. A shout-out to the first game in Miranda's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2: The team must take a particularly long elevator ride with elevator music playing in the background. Miranda slams the elevator's console with an omni-tool, and the elevator speeds up and the music stops. She really must mean business. And in the Project Overlord DLC for the same game, the elevator music makes a comeback, while Shepard's team is investigating a crashed Geth ship. Hilarious, nightmarishly distorted elevator music while exploring a seemingly completely dead ship. It's even funnier the second time when you go back through that part of the ship later, with the same distorted music, while fighting off hordes of hacked Geth. |

Used in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), when the title characters shoot their way into an elevator not once, but twice in quick succession. Both times, the song is clearly playing on the speakers. (The second time is arguably funnier, due to the presence of bullet holes in the elevator walls...) | |

The explict absence of this this is lampshaded in Namesake. Shortly after arriving on Earth Ozian native Warrick is ushered into an elevator with the rest of the main cast, excitely stating he's read about them in books by the first Wizard and the Dorothys, noting that they play music. Aside a ding of a bell for the doors and constant Vrrrr of the elevator itself, there's no sound or speach until Warrick speaks up, disapointed, much to Emma's amusement. | |

In the FPS sections of Jurassic Park for the SNES, the elevators you used to get between floors switched between two songs, one jaunty and the other smooth and relaxing. Considering that you were exploring a dark building full of Velociraptors and Dilophosaurs, this made for some prime Mood Whiplash. Especially when you were hauling ass to an elevator and right as you got in, you heard the horrible screech of a Raptor... only for the doors to close and that jaunty music to play. | |

In American McGee's Grimm, pausing the game in any episode from the seventh onward results in a tinny Muzak rendition of the opening theme. The style and tinniness make it clear that this trope is being invoked. | |

In Rise of the Triad, when you enter an elevator, there is a one in ten chance that this will play. In the remake, one of the levels has a segment which almost entirely takes place in a big elevator and which has a remade version of the tune. | |

The Bolt Chronicles: Non-elevator-based examples of piped-in canned music are often encountered when members of Bolt's household are at the local mall, most notably in the stories "The Service Dog" and "The Mall." Ordinarily, the sound system features bland Muzak style versions of pop music from the 1950s through the 1980s — but in the latter story, the music-loving Mittens hears a tango-inflected version of a melody from Johannes Brahms’s Third Symphony, which irritates her no end. | |

When the player enters any elevator in System Shock, the background music changes to a suspiciously "Ipanema"-like ditty. Which creates horrible Mood Whiplash when you've just barely managed to blast your way through creepy dark areas full of creepy enemies while listening to creepy audio logs... and then you're in the elevator, and hearing this. Or when you exit the elevator and find yourself facing a room full of zombie mutants that want to eat your brains. | |

Magicka spoofs this in the challenge map called "Caverns", where the players enter the arena through a wooden mechanical platform that is (somehow) playing muzak. Some of the later enemy waves also enter through the elevator, accompanied by the same chime. | |
