One-Woman Wail: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'' has an extremely eerie one as Anakin is sitting in his quarters and fighting with himself as to whether he should save Padme by protecting Palpatine. At the same time, Padme senses that something is wrong with him and goes to her window to look outside. Without realizing it, they are looking at each other from miles away as they're sharing the same fears. Cue chilling [[One-Woman Wail]], with no other sound.

* In the film ''King Arthur'' with Clive Owen. While Bor's... wife? Wife-to-be? is singing what appears to be a Sarmatian song, her voice gradually fades out as the scene cuts to the other knights, who are mouthing the words.

* Used when {{spoiler|the marines destroy Hometree}} in ''[[Avatar (Film)|Avatar]]''.

** Also used in the beginning of the movie, when Jake remembers {{spoiler|his taking the contract after the death of his brother}}.

* Lampshaded in an episode of ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'', where the singing is heard while Herc is mourning the death of his second wife, and the singer turns out to be [[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena]].

** The funeral song that Xena sang in multiple episodes of the franchise was actually a pre-existing song called "Burial" written and performed by Lucy Lawless.

** The [[Steven Moffat]] era seems to have switched over to Yamit Mamo, who sang "The Stowaway" and "My Angel Put the Devil in Me," for the wailing, as heard in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH5qYqgqD3I The Mad Man with a Box]."

** And in Season Six [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx6dnwGbVIU we have one] for the, as a fan described it, "having my brain explode" moments.
