[[Fire-Forged Friends|Battle isn't the only way to make friends]]. Sometimes, you don't need an instrument of destruction to get someone on your side -- you just need an instrument.
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. The odd couple of the drugged-up ex-salesman Todd and the recently released ex-convict Reggie's friendship begins to blossom when they share a duet of ''Try a Little Tenderness''.
* ''[[A Fairly Odd Movie Grow Up Timmy Turner]]'' (the [[Live Action Adaptation]] of ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'') has "Looking Like Magic", a song sung by Timmy and Tootie's actors, accompany the characters' [["Falling in Love" Montage]].
* In ''[[Au Revoir Les Enfants]]'' Jean and Julien bond over playing a piano duet while an air raid alert is going on.
 
Line 50:
== Live Action TV ==
* This was the ''only'' way Ted and Stephanie could communicate for a while in ''[[Scrubs]]'', until Ted grew a pair.
* In one of the last episodes of ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' Starbuck plays the piano with a pianist she previously disliked and it help her to come to terms with her past.
* In ''[[Glee]]'' this is how Jesse seduces Rachel when they first meet. {{spoiler|And then again when Jesse returns to [[Mc Kinley]].}}
** ''[[Glee]]'' loves this trope, especially with Rachel. Two other examples include Mercedes and Rachel resolving a feud while singing [[Rent|"Take Me or Leave Me"]], and Blaine solidifying his foray into bisexuality with Rachel with "Don't You Want Me."
Line 85:
* Very common in the ''Zelda'' series. Especially since [[Memetic Sex God|Link somehow manages to woo every female protagonist he meets.]]
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening]]'' was probably the first one. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiCSPEm3KuE&feature=player_detailpage#t=284s Marin teaches Link the hauntingly beautiful Ballad of the Wind Fish], later they go off on an adventure together, and you can't help but think about how {{spoiler|Marin is going to cease to exist}} when you play it to {{spoiler|open the Wind Fish's egg.}}
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', [[Love Dodecahedron|Saria teaches Link Saria's Song and gives him his first wooden ocarina, Malon teaches him Epona's Song and gives him his horse, and Zelda teaches him the Song of Time and gives him the Ocarina of Time.]] {{spoiler|Also, Shiek, who is actually Zelda in disguise, teaches Link all of the teleporting songs when he's an adult.}} In a slightly less lovey-dovey example, Impa teaches Link Zelda's Lullaby.
