Line 5:
A related phenomenon with music from an ''unpopular'' work is [[Breakaway Pop Hit]].
{{examples
* When the first ''[[The X Files Fight the Future|X-Files]]'' movie came out, a commercial for a certain car was frequently broadcast. The music from the show played in the background, as if to say "if you like the X-Files, buy this!" The automobile had little connection with the movie other than being in it. And the film wasn't famous for its cool cars.
* ''[[The Matrix (Film)|The Matrix]]'' Poweraide commercials were more entertaining versions of this trope.
Line 11:
* "Bond Girl 007" perfume from AVON. Released to go with ''[[Quantum of Solace (Film)|Quantum of Solace]]''. There is no perfume in that film, and relatively little Bond Girl.
* [[The Rick Mercer Report]] does quite a few of these, mentioning "from the producers of _____, we bring you _____".
* For some time, [[GSN]] kept promoting its revival of ''[[Chain Reaction (TV)|Chain Reaction]]'' as being "from the producers of ''[[Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?]]?''" when about the only other thing the two shows had in common was the [[Game Show]] genre.
