Line 19:
* [[Calvin and Hobbes|Calvin]] attempts a snow dance to get school canceled. (It doesn't work.)
* Parodied in one ''[[The Far Side]]'' cartoon where the Indian chief is consulting a book called "101 Rain Dances" to figure out what the hell kind of dance he was doing ... while it's raining eggbeaters.
* In ''[[FoxTrot]]'', Jason and Marcus once did a snow dance. Paige joined them in the hope that school might be canceled if it worked.
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', Injun Joe does this as a weapon against a shapeshifter, since running water will cancel out magic.
* Played straight in ''[[I, Claudius|Claudius the God]]'' -- a Roman commander whose troops are lost in the desert follows his native guide's advice to invoke the local rain god. It works.
* In the children's horror anthology ''Still More Scary Stories for Sleepovers'', a [[Rain Dance]] {{spoiler|causes the [[Downer Ending]]}} in "Night of the Ki-Khwan". Perhaps the only time a [[Rain Dance]] was ever played for horror.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 30:
* In ''[[Double the Fist]]'', Womp performed a rain dance that summoned... hamburgers.
* ''[[The X-Files]]''. In "The Rain King", Daryl Mootz does [[The Theme Park Version]] of a rain dance, claiming [[Magical Native American]] ancestry. Scully and Mulder are not impressed...until it starts bucketing down out of a clear sky.
* In an episode of ''[[Ned's Declassified]]'' a ''reverse'' rain dance is performed by [[Cloudcuckoolander|Coconut Head]] and the other boys to get it to be sunny (after several days of rain, and therefore students cooped up indoors).
