Line 17:
* The song "Must Have Done Something Right" by Relient K lampshades how cliched it is by chronicling the singer's attempts ''not'' to be cliched.
* [[The Beatles]] with "Only a Northern Song":

You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
He just wrote it like that
When you're listening late at night
You may think the bands are not quite right
But they are
They just play it like that" }}
* The song "School's Out" by Alice Cooper lampshades how much he (and presumably the band) wanted to stick with the wordplay of the term 'principals' despite it being a hard word to match.<br />{{quote|
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes" }}
** "Circus Fish" by Vermillion Lies does this as well:
{{quote|
I don't know what to rhyme with trowel" }}
* In Luke Ski's Springsteen parody "[[Self-Deprecation|Born To Lose]]", the music peters out shortly before the final verse, and Luke petulantly whines: "C'mon, guys, at least let's finish the song..."

I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow?
Was that the hook brings you back. }}
* In "Gold Soundz" by Pavement, the lyrics 'And they're coming to the chorus now' come just before the chorus.
Line 63:
