Line 97:
* [[Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na|"Hai popular!"]]
* [[Hello Dolly|"Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out..."]]<ref> Anyone who's seen ''[[Wall E]]'' will know this one...</ref>
* "Consider yourself" from ''[[Oliver! (Theatre)|Oliver]]''
* The movie version of ''[[Hair]]'' has "Let The Sunshine In" turn into this as the finale.
* ''[[Happy Feet]]'' and its sequel has several of these.
Line 107:
* ''[[Discworld (Literature)|Discworld]]'':
** Not an actual occurrence, but in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Men At Arms|Men At Arms]]'' the narration remarks that Carrot is the sort of person that could pull this off.
** In the ''Thieves' Guild Diary'', pickpockets get trained how to do this, as it's an essential part of the "image" (the accompanying illustration is clearly of Ron Moody as Fagin in ''[[Oliver! (Theatre)|Oliver]]'')
* In the [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]] novel ''How Much For Just The Planet?'' by [[John M Ford]], the Direidians break out into crowd songs around the visiting Federation and Klingon diplomatic delegations on several occasions. It turns out that {{spoiler|it ''was'' all carefully rehearsed and planned out ahead of time, as part of the Direidian "plan C" to prevent either of the two sides from taking over their planet and disrupting their way of life.}}

* Need we even mention all of the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_films_by_year:List of musical films by year|Theatrical]] and [[Broadway]] musicals? [[Lampshade Hanging|Many of which mock themselves?]]
* Classic [[Lampshade Hanging]] in [[Gilbert and Sullivan]]'s ''Ruddigore'':
{{quote| '''Margaret''': But see, they come - Sir Despard and his evil crew! Hide, hide - they are all mad - quite mad!<br />
Line 265:
* Protestors. Many of these are just simple chants, but [[I Am Legion|Anonymous]] are quite happy to sing anything they know the words to - and there are some songs they ''all'' know the words to. [[The Fresh Prince of Bel Air|"In West Philadelphia, born and raised..."]]
** ''Debout, les damnés de la terre. Debout, les forçats de la faim...''
** The original [[YouTube]] video may have been pulled, but there's nothing stopping them from a more old fashioned [[Rick RollRickroll]].
* The Last Night of the Proms. Hearing 40,000 people all sing 'Land of Hope and Glory' in unison is wonderful.
* "[[Queen|Bohemian Rhapsody]]". If the beginning is too slow for some people, just wait. When it gets to "I see a little silhouette of a man," everyone in the nearest vicinity will join in. This has been proven [[Waynes World|in the car]], on camping trips, and while listening to the radio both around the house and while cleaning up a theater.
