comment |
A speech delivered before a song begins to play. This trope usually comes in two types:
Type 1
Alice starts her performance by stating who she's singing her Intercourse with You or Anti-Love Song for. General dedications to "the ladies" and "the fans" are also popular. This type is common among professional musicians, as well as drunken amateurs at the Karaoke Box.
Type 2
Alice requests a song on the radio (or an In-Universe equivalent) for Bob.
A Sub-Trope of Dedication. |

The Front Bottoms:
"Twin Sized Mattress" begins with an obscure and poetic dedication: "This one's for the lions living in the wiry broke-down frames of my friends' bodies."
"West Virginia" has one after the first verse, but before the rest of the song: "This one goes out to all my friends in West Virginia". The song (a Break-Up Song) otherwise has nothing to do with West Virginia; supposedly the line references a particularly good show the band had in that state. |

Disco Elysium: During one sidequest, you call in to your sidekick Kim's favorite radio station to pursue a lead. After interviewing the DJ, you can request a song and a shoutout for Kim. Though Kim's too professional to dwell on it and quickly pushes you back toward the case, it doesn't take a lot of Composure to notice how much he appreciates it. |

Subverted in Veronica Mars, when a little girl who is dying to see Logan get back together with Veronica calls a radio station and asks Nick Lachey's "What's Left of Me" to be dedicated to her, from him. Funny, of course, because neither him nor her are exactly the romantic type... and yet this cheesy song somehow rings true. |
