Line 36:
* Troy and Gabriella of ''[[High School Musical]]'' become acquainted by singing karaoke in front of a crowd of people. Later, they bond some more when they practice to become the leads in the school play.
* In ''[[Duets]]'', Liv finally bonds with her up until then [[Jerkass]] estranged father when he calls her up on stage during a karaoke competition so that they can sing a duet of her deceased mother's favorite song: ''Cruisin''' by Smokie Robinson.
