Line 29:
 
* "Savages" from Disney's ''[[Pocahontas]]''
* "Somewhere Out There" from ''[[An American Tail]]''. Two separated mice sing about their hopes of finding each other someday. [[Tear Jerker|* sniff* ]]
* "The Plagues" from ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]''
* The "[[La Résistance]]" Medley from ''[[South Park]]: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut'', which is also a deliberate parody of these kinds of songs. The members of [[La Résistance]], the mothers, the fathers, Terrance and Phillip and Satan all sing different parts, often reprising other songs from the movie.
* The [[Award Bait Song]] "For Longer Than Forever" from ''[[The Swan Princess]]''.
* "Am I Feeling Love?", one of two blatant [[Award Bait Song|Award Bait Songs]]s in the theatrical cuts of [[The Thief and the Cobbler]].
* "Shere Khan's Lost Song" from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' was originally going to be one for Shere Khan, the film's [[Big Bad]].
* The [[What Could Have Been|canceled]] [[Betty Boop]] movie was planned to have a distant duet between Betty and her father. [http://www.moorestudiosinc.com/bettyboop.htm See it here.]
Line 46:
* [[Frank Sinatra]] recorded a new version of ''I've Got You Under My Skin'' with [[Bono]] in 1993. The music video depicts Sinatra singing his part of the song in New York, with Bono singing his lines in Dublin.
* [[Sound Horizon]]'s "Shiseru Monotachi no Monogatari - Istoria" includes a duet between separated twins Elefseus and Artemisia, promising that they'll meet again one day.
* [[Simple Plan]]'s "Jet Lag" is sung from the perspective of a couple who are separated by continents, to the point where he's waking up just as the sun is setting where she is. They have released four official versions of the song--thesong—the English version with Natasha Bedingfield, a French version with Marie-Mai, a mixed English/Chinese version with Kelly Cha, and a one with an Indonesian band. In all four music videos he is shown at the airport while she waits for him to come home.

Line 65:
'''Kirsty''': It's probably something to do with being alone.
'''Mitch''': But I'm standing over here... }}
* "Skid Row" from ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]'' has various characters singing one line, before developing into a more conventional [[Distant Duet]] with Audrey and Seymour.
* ''[[Thirteen]]'' has a subversion. Evan and Patrice are standing right next to each other and are giving advice to Brett saying what they wish they would really say to each other
* ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (theatre)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' has a distant trio, with Sweeney in his barbershop, Anthony searching for Johanna, and Johanna in an insane asylum.
