Line 16:
* The Monster in ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'' can be attracted to and lulled by music.
* In ''[[Bringing Up Baby]]'', the tame leopard Baby can be subdued by singing "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby"
* In ''[[Help!]]!'', Ringo is threatened by a tiger which can be tamed by singing the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
* Inverted in ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' short ''Idle Roomers'', which features a [[Wolf Man]] who is relatively tame until he hears music. The stooges, mistakenly believing in this trope, decide to play music when confronted by him, activating the Wolf Man's [[Berserk Button]].
* ''[[The Island of Doctor Moreau]]'' (1996): Marlon Brando (as the title character) momentarily soothes the rebellious man-animal hybrids with his piano playing. But when Dr Moreau decides to follow this up by activating their pain implants, he discovers the hard way that they've already been removed.
