Line 247:
* [[The Flaming Lips]]' "Love Yer Brain" is a quiet piano ballad, but it ends with someone trying to ''smash'' the piano, with a very short loop of [[The Beatles (band)|"Tomorrow Never Knows"]] playing over and over in the background. This could almost be considered an [[Overly Long Gag]] because of how long it goes on, and because band members can faintly be heard chatting and laughing about it afterwards. However, the fact that it goes on for so long could also make it more disturbing, especially considering the main message of the song is "every man needs something to keep him from going insane". So they are unloading all their negative emotions on the piano.
* Inverted with [[Beck (musician)|Beck]]'s "Lord Only Knows", which starts off with a ''[[Careful with That Axe|first]]'' [[Careful with That Axe|note nightmare]] but immediately calms down.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ Dont Hug Me I'm Scared]. The worst part is not the sudden switch in the animation (though that is just as terrifying), but the continuous, soul crushing minor chord that somehow carries with you for several days where ever you go...
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vPRu1bR5fc This protest video] against BP's greenwashing at the 2012 Olympics. The music starts out with peaceful piano, but when the BP cyclist shows his true colors and starts turning the environment into a [[Crapsack World]], the music changes to a dark [[Industrial]] tune accompanied by dissonant 8-bit-style jingles reminiscent of "game over" music.
