Line 4:
(20 Minutes later) '''Announcer''': Call the station for a contest entry if you recognize this song: (plays exact same song as in previous announcement)

'''Oliver Douglas''': But it's the same song they just played!

When a video game repeats certain songs sufficiently frequently, players of that game will associate the song with the game whenever they hear it regardless of circumstance.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
Not to be confused with the "''[[Guitar Hero]]'' effect"—a phrase meaning [[Revival by Commercialization]] <ref>even though the Grand Theft Auto Effect can occur with songs that appear in ''Guitar Hero''.</ref>
The same thing can happen when previously-composed music is used in films (live action or animated.) How many people think of "Thus Spoke Zarasthustra" as "Theme from [[2001: A Space Odyssey|2001]]", or associate "The War March of the Priests" with the [[Looney Tunes|Bugs Bunny]] short?
