Line 317:
** The music in the final scene of "The Pandorica Opens" is a dark reprise of Amy's theme.
** The Eleventh Doctor's secondary theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g04jyyuXXSg&feature=related "The Mad Man With A Box"] is given a dark reprisal towards the end of "The Big Bang", entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzOhu24WNbE&feature=related "The Sad Man With A Box"].
* The background music during the final scene of the ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' episode "Jaynestown" is a sad, subdued, instrumental version of the earlier [[Firefly (TV series)/Funny|"Ballad of Jayne"]].
* In the BBC adaptation of ''[[Gormenghast]]'', Lady Fuschia sings a childish (and rather stupid) rhyme to announce herself in the first episode ('I am Fuschia, I am me...') and in the final episode, Steerpike [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|sings a seriously twisted version gloating about his utter madness]] and the fact that he has {{spoiler|mudered several members of Fuchsia's family, including her two aunts, whose corpses he is dancing around at the time.}} And it's all downhill from there...
* ''[[NCIS]]'' does this in several episodes with their theme song, both with 'darker' versions as well as several sad versions. Interestingly, they often only change the speed of the song.
