Action Girl/Music
- David Bowie's song "She's Got Medals".
- "Super Girl (Buttercup)" by Shonen Knife.
- P!nk in the video for "Trouble".
- P!nk in real life, too. In her "I'm Not Dead" tour, she did a full-fledged Cirque de Soleil act forty feet above a stage that had no padding and no net. While singing the entire song live. Every single night. This tour, she's doing a song with a trapeze act that starts out with her blindfolded.
- Machinae Supremacy has a song called "Action Girl", which from the lyrics and a bit of sampled dialogue appears to be about Buffy Summers, from Xander's point of view.
- Jex Thoth, "Warrior Woman".
- The Flaming Lips, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" (Her name is Yoshimi / She's a black belt in karate...)
