So you need to get a gift for the girl of your dreams. Or maybe you've liked her for a really long time, and you need to show her how you feel. Or you screwed up big time and need to apologize. Either way, you've hit on the perfect solution - sing to her! Either with an existing song (if the producers can get the rights to it) or something you've written yourself. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This almost never actually goes well. Often the performer ends up being a terrible musician, or sometimes the song goes completely over the head of its intended recipients. Love songs from musicals don't count unless it's obvious to the other characters that someone is singing. "Your Song" by Elton John is the Trope Namer. Can overlap with This Is a Song (if the singer explicitly references the fact that the song is for the recipient, in-song) and Gift of Song if said song is designed to be a present. |

On Cheers Woody didn't know what he could get Kelly (his Uptown Girl girlfriend) for her birthday. Frasier suggests something "from the heart," so he wrote her a song. He sang it for her at her party. | |

Done on The Simpsons over and over again: Homer's country singer protege Lurleen Lumpkin sings him an original song, "Bunk with Me Tonight," all the while making eyes at him. Homer being Homer, of course, it takes her reprising the chorus, with even more blatant eye-making, for him to get what she's on about. When Homer and Marge appear on a Wife Swap-type show, Marge's temporary husband falls for her and sings her a (very bad) song he wrote for her (which puns on Marge's hair "dye," Princess "Di," and the latter's "dying." Yeah.). Siblings rather than romance, but there's also Bart's song "Lisa it's your Birthday," written & performed with assistance by Michael Jackson Leon Kompowski. Homer: What if I sing to you? ''I gave my love a chicken, it had no bones''... Mmmmmm... chicken. "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Homer and Marge." Out of the ordinary in that it was Marge who "played" the song for Homer. When Seymour Skinner was trying to win back Mrs. Krabappel, he enlisted the help of Springfield Elementary's glee club, to the tune of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." |

In Ted, Mark Wahlberg is trying to get his girlfriend back his irresponsibility pushed her away. He learns that she is gonna be at a Norah Jones concert that night. Turns out his best friend, magical living teddy bear Ted (It Makes Sense in Context) is an old friend-with-benefits of Norah Jones, and he gets Mark Wahlberg on stage to during the concert to sing a song. Unfortunately, not only is he an horrible singer, he picks up the worst James Bond theme song ever, "All Time High" from Octopussy. | |

The Victorious episode "The Birthweek Song" features a variant, with Tori writing a song for her sister Trina in celebration of her "birthweek". Unfortunately, Trina, being the kind of Spoiled Brat who thinks that she's entitled to a whole week to celebrate her birth, also believes that something doesn't count as a present unless it costs money, prompting a similar exchange to the Cheers example above. | |

The Ginny/Cho Chang song from A Very Potter Musical. The joke is that the song is for Cho, but Harry practices on Ginny. It obviously works better using Ginny's name, because all the lyrics rhyme with her name, and not Cho's. | |

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World uses this as well, although the song is somewhat different from the one in the comics. (The lyrics are still mostly "Ramona" over and over again, though.) When he realizes he truly does love Ramona and goes to save her from Gideon, it plays again... but this time with real lyrics and being sung by Beck. | |
