Line 139:
** "No More Hamburger Time" a song sung {{spoiler|to his dead cat}} that starts out [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|surprisingly heartfelt]]...and then quickly devolves into madness [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5gsmqiYnaQ when the rest of the band joins in.]
** "I Am Toki", an autotuned song sung as Toki goes to meet his Internet lifemate. The dream sequence includes Toki transforming into a knight to rescue a hot princess in a castle from a giant green dragon who bleeds Lucky Charms marshmallows. And then there's a wedding where [[It Makes Sense in Context|the minister and all the guests are rabbits]]. This [[Captain Obvious|does not]] [[Fan Disservice|happen.]]
** Similarly, a [[Littlest Cancer Patient]] fan who wants to meet Toki sends him a DVD of her singing a sweet song about wanting to be brutal - it segues into her and Toki singing and flying together, backed up by a chorus of candy-colored [[Eldritch
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjj_94ECUKU committee song] from ''Babar: The Movie''.
* In the "Jingle Fever" episode of ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'', the two have a rather surreal [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwXabd22ss8#t=8m28s musical number about living at a convenience store.]
Line 186:
* Another live-action example: The [[Villain Recruitment Song]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaQMVdkFDr0 "That's Motivation"] in ''[[Absolute Beginners]]'' (1986) is presented in this manner. The villain in question (played by [[David Bowie]], who also wrote the song) is an advertising executive who sees his work as selling dreams, and he's encouraging the idealistic photographer hero to become part of his all-style, no-substance world.
* The 1969 movie, ''[[The Magic Christian]]'', has several of these.
* The tour in ''[[Willy Wonka

** [[Lampshaded]] by Violet Beauregard who asks if the whole tunnel sequence is a "freak out".
Line 197:
* In ''[[Troll (film)|Troll]]'', the [[Villain Song]] performed by Torok's minions borders on this.

* In the ''[[Flight of the Conchords]]'' TV series this was done a couple of times with some of the more surreal songs in the duo's repertoire. Most notably Pretty Prince Of Parties, which was a literal acid trip.
* Many early episodes of ''[[Sesame Street]]'' have a series of sketches on numbers (1 through 10) that involved a baker who holds in his arms that number of desserts but falls down a flight of stairs, ruining the desserts in question. The sketches started with a very flashy animated intro in which the voices of kids are heard counting up from 1 to 10, then back to 1, and finally up to the featured number in the sketch, in choral voice over, while that number, in animated form, zoomed around the screen.
