  • In the Central Park song 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.
  • This Bob's Burgers song is a trio, with only 2 of the characters on the same emotional page.
  • In This Day Aria from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Chrysalis sings about how her evil plan is going well while Princess Cadence, one of its intended targets, also sings about how Chrysalis’s plan is proceeding well. The difference lies in what benefits they each expect to reap from seeing the plan through.
