("just a bit of fun trivia" ...so you felt it was worth noting. Also, the Bob's Burgers example explicitly states that it's a TRIO, with only 2 of the 3 on the same page emotionally.)

Alice and Bob are taking part in a duet, whether it be an original song produced for the show or an already-"established" piece used for the scene. However, while they might be performing the same song - and thus, more likely than not, singing about the same subject - how they ''feel'' about it couldn't be any more wildly different.
One singer has one emotion, another singer has a wildly different emotion. They are probably apart and singing about their own situation.


Despite the name, this '''Duet Mood Dissonance''' can involve a trio, quartet or more - the focal point is the difference in tone between two or more of the singers participating, which is usually accompanied by a change in instruments and key between their parts.

* In the ''[[Central Park]]'' song ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2AZIgIOK9E Can We Do Today Again?]'', Owen sings about how he messed up being a father when he thought he would do a good job, while Paige sings about how she thought she earlier thought she doing a bad job being a mother and it turned out she was doing a good job. Owen wants this day to happen to start again so he would have a second chance and do it right that time; Paige wants the day to happen again so she can relive the joy of being so awesome.

** Fun fact: [[Talking to Herself|Chrysalis and Cadence have the same voice actor]].
