{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Happened not once, but ''twice'' with "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9lYzWkz8Zs Rouge No Dengon]". The first time, it was used as the opening theme in ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'', so everyone associates the song with that. Then it was used in ''[[Suzume (film)|Suzume]]'', and everyone immediately went "hey look, it's the ''Kiki's Delivery Service''" song. Now people know this as the song that appeared in ''Suzume'' and ''Kiki's Delivery Service''.
* "Fly Me to the Moon" was a nice song about flying to the moon. Now a bunch of people know it (and its 20 other renditions) as the ending theme of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.
