Line 108:
* There's a song called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVeGgV8MtJA Disneyland] from an obscure 80's musical called ''Smile'' that's just chock full of these. First off, the lyrics were written by Howard Ashman from before he teamed up with Alan Menken to become one of Disney's greatest songwriting duos. Not only that, but the woman singing is Jodi Benson, most famous as the voice of Ariel in [[The Little Mermaid]]. There's even a reference to a [[Aladdin (Disney film)|magic carpet]]!
* Likely a mixed between this and [[Harsher in Hindsight]], demanding how one glances at it, "If That Were Me" by [[Spice Girls|Melanie C]] discusses homelessness. In one part, she sings "I couldn't live without my phone. But you don't even have a home." In 2000, when the song was released, having your own phone was [[Serious Business]]. Today, it's rather common for, even the homeless, to have at least one phone, even a pre-paid one. There's even a name for a fear of being without a mobile home called nomophobia. Even Chisholm herself acknowledged this.
* When [[Lindsey Stirling]] appeared on ''[[America's Got Talent]] in 2010, she was eliminated in the quarter-finals, with the judges actively disparaging the very ''idea'' of her act: Piers Morgan said "[Y]ou're not good enough, I don't think, to get away with flying through the air and trying to play the violin at the same time" and Sharon Osbourne flatly stated "What you're doing is not enough to fill a theater in Vegas". Fast forward only two years, and her YouTube videos were racking up millions of views, her self-titled first album had been released, and she had begun a North American tour, which later was expanded into a world tour. By 2017 she'd embarked on three world tours as well as several smaller North American tours, released two more albums and an autobiography (''The Only Pirate at the Party'') and collaborated with numerous artists, including a song for the closing credits of Disney's live-action version of ''Pete's Dragon''. In 2018, she collaborated with Amy Lee and [[Evanescence]] and embarked on a joint tour with them. And where is the winner of the 2010 ''America's Got Talent''? [[w:Michael Grimm (musician)|Michael Grimm]] is all but forgotten. He released a few albums which failed to chart, and after 2015 has essentially vanished from the music industry.
