Insert Song | comment |
An Insert Song is a song with lyrics that is inserted during a certain scene of a show or series. Usually, this is done to give a scene more emotional impact by using a song with lyrics which relate to the scene in question. Sometimes though, especially if it's a music-oriented show, the creators will have the characters play a song in-story. What sets the in-story version apart from a regular Musical Episode is that there has to be something important happening in-story as justification for why someone is singing, and that the entire cast doesn't have to be involved. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This is very common in anime, as detailed in Anime Theme Song, since most voice actors/actresses also happen to be popular singers. Note that the opening theme only counts an example if it's used in the middle of the show, when something is actually happening. And the ending theme doesn't count as an example if it starts during a scene which segues into the credits. Compare Anime Theme Song (the opening theme, which can be used as this sometimes), Image Song (can overlap with this if the song in question is brought into the show), Leitmotif (when a particular piece of music is tied to a certain character), and Theme Music Power-Up (when epic BGM is playing while a character is kicking ass). |

Saints Row became fond of this beginning with the third installment: Villain Song "POWER" by Kanye West, which more-or-less serves as the game's Real Song Theme Tune, plays in the background of the mission "Party Time". As said mission consists of the Saints crashing a penthouse party to steal it and use it as a base of operations, it's certainly a fitting jam. Used for hysterical effect during "Murderbrawl XXXI", where the inspiring "You're the Best" by Joe Esposito plays as the Boss uses a chainsaw to slaughter a gang of luchadores during a live wrestling broadcast. "Holding Out For a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler plays during the mission "Three Way", as the Boss has to decide between saving several of their closest allies or leaving them to die and opting to go for revenge on the main Big Bad. |

The standard battle themes in 3, "Mass Destruction", 4, "Reach Out to the Truth", and 5, "Last Surprise", have vocals. Boss themes are entirely instrumental. Persona Q, which wasn't composed entirely by Meguro, has vocal themes for both regular battles ("Light the Fire Up in the Night") and bosses ("Laser Beam"). | |

Super Mario Odyssey is the first Mario game in history to have vocal songs of any kind. In this game, there are two: "Jump Up, Super Star!" plays during the New Donk City festival, while "Break Free (Lead the Way)" plays at the end of the final level, when Mario and Princess Peach escape the underground lair in the wedding hall on the moon. | |

The Forza Horizon has specific licensed songs play for each "boss" event and Bucket List Challenge, many of which are specifically chosen to tie into the themes of the event. Notable examples include "Train in Vain" by The Clash playing during an event where the player races against a train in 2, and "The River" by Ladyhawke when racing a fleet of speedboats downstream in 3. | |

Mekakucity Actors: Given that it's an anime based on a manga and light novel based on a set of songs, this was bound to happen: (Warning, spoilers) Kisaragi Attention at the end of episode 2. Mekakushi Code at the end of episode 3 And Kagerou Days at the end of episode 4. |
