In the final cutscene, the earth-shapers can be seen covering their ears from the music with one of them losing his [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]] and deciding to dance along.
* In ''[[Jabless Adventure (Video Game)|Jabless Adventure]]'', the dreaded [[Underground Monkey|SCUBA]] [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears|bear]] is said to be invincible and chases after Jables. However, after evading the bear and receiving a strawberry from the lady in the house, Jables is suddenly inspired to sing the ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'' theme song. This song calms the bear, which makes it safe to swim back past him.

* Titano in the ''[[Superman: theThe Animated Series]]'' episode "Monkey Fun".
* The plot of the [[Tex Avery]]-directed [[Chilly Willy]] cartoon "The Legend of Rock-a-bye Point" concerns a polar bear trying to get fish from a fishing boat, getting the [[Angry Guard Dog]] off his back by putting him to sleep with a lullaby, while Chilly sabotages him at every turn.
* In the ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' cartoon "Down Beat Bear", the titular bear ends up at Tom's house and Tom tries to call the authorities, but every time the bear hears music he starts to dance with Tom.
