== Musical ==
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Unless you're a fan of TCM (Turner Classic Movies) you've most likely never even heard of the original non-musical movie.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: "My exit music, please?" *silence*
** ->{{quote|'''Billy''': My client never kept a diary!
{{quote| '''Roxie''': Yeah! And she [[Dumb Blonde|Broke the lock!]].}}
* [[Ear Worm]]: Lots. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoCZEmfnE-M Cell Block Tango] comes to mind.
* [[Family -Unfriendly Aesop]]: The legal system is a farce and a circus, and fame will let you get away with anything. Additionally, if you are falsely accused of murder, you're more likely to get executed than someone who did.
** The saddest thing is that much too often this is [[Truth in Television|absolutely true]].
* [[Hype Backlash]]: Soon after it won big at the Oscars (it beat ''The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers'' and ''Gangs of New York'' for Best Picture), this set in.

[[Category:Multiple Works Need Separate Pages]]
* [[Epic Riff]]: "25 or 6 to 4".
* [[Face of the Band]]: Averted for a while, then in [[The Eighties]], it was Peter Cetera. Who then left halfway through the decade.
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Kath replacement Donnie Dacus lasted for only two albums(''Hot Streets'' and ''Chicago XIII''), and was later acknowledged as "a mistake".
** Unfortunately, this goes for any lead vocalist who's name isn't Terry Kath.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Terry Kath, who forgot the first rule of guns: Always assume it's loaded.
** Justified, he had enough depression issues to not really care.
