Line 180:

* Germany's ''Deutschland sucht den Superstar'' (you could say ''[[American Idol|German Idol]]'', it's the same branch) uses Melanie C's "Next Best Superstar" to celebrate their winner. ''"Crack a smile in denial; throw your morals on the fire"''.

* Elimination show and beauty contest ''The Swan'', which took ordinary-looking women and gave them plastic surgery to bring them closer to mainstream notions of conventional beauty made use of Groove Armada's "If Everybody Looked the Same", oblivious to the meaning of the song's refrain "If everybody looked the same, we'd get tired of looking at each other".

* ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'' music montages occasionally fall into this trap; one of the worst was the choruses (''only'' the choruses) of [[David Bowie]]'s [http://www.teenagewildlife.com/Albums/YA/YA.html "Young Americans"] being used to underscore cute toddler clips.

** ''[[The X Factor]]'' is guilty of this, too. "Heroes" has nothing to do with war in anyway, shape or form.
