Sexophone: Difference between revisions

The muted trumpet can be used to similar effect.

 

 

Compare other [[Mood Motif]]s. Not to be confused with the device in ''[[Brave New World (novel)|Brave New World]]''.

== Advertising ==

* A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I61n_kkRRHA recent ad]{{when}} for Zoosk features a woman fantasizing about a sexy scene with a guy, accompanied by a sultry saxophone riff. And the riff promptly cuts off as soon as they smack their skulls into each other during an attempted kiss, and again when he bumps her head into a bedpost.

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Naruto]]'' has the titular character with this whenever he does the Sexy Jutsu.

** It's also played every time something [[Camp|overly]] [[Narm|melodramatic]] happens, and for some reason every time a joke's punchline involves a ridiculously oversized animal.

* The saxophone is [[Ms. Fanservice|Rouge's]] [[Leitmotif]] in both the Japanese version and the 4Kids dub of ''[[Sonic X]]''.

* ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]'''s Madoka Ayukawa plays one mean sax. She is, of course, the more mature leg of the [[Love Triangle]].

* Played when Esmeraude first appears in ''[[Sailor Moon]]''

* In the ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' OAV series, Urd's first appearance is accompanied by a song titled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeN8v8tzMww "Sexy Dynamite"].

* ''[[One Piece]]'': Features heavily in Nico Robin's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR-Ks3h2Zzw theme.]

** This type of music also plays in the background when [[The Vamp|Kalifa]] seduces Sanji.

 

== Film ==

* Played with, along with [[Feet First Introduction]], with a trombone in ''[[Airplane!]]''. Turns out the owner of the sexy legs is ''playing'' it.

* A [[Running Gag]] in ''[[Fatal Instinct]]''; the [[Femme Fatale]] is always accompanied by a steamy sax tune because a professional sax player follows her around, providing her with a theme tune while hiding in hallways, closets, even in her bed.

 

== Literature ==

* [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in [[Douglas Adams]]' ''The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul'':

{{quote|"There emerged from the car a pair of [[She's Got Legs|the sort of legs]] which soundtrack editors are unable to see without needing to slap a smoky saxophone solo all over, for reasons which no one besides soundtrack editors has ever been able to understand. In this particular case, however, the saxophone would have been silenced by the proximity of the kazoo which the same soundtrack editor would almost certainly have slapped all over [[The Alleged Car|the progress of the vehicle]]."}}

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* In ''[[Flower Boy Ramyun Shop]]'' a sexy saxophone tune plays when Eun Bi pulls Chi Soo in for a kiss, as she was playing his own game (of seducing people because he can and then dropping them) against him.

 

* ''[[Miss Saigon]]'' features a wailing saxophone song just ''prior'' to the leads having sex.

** They actually refer to it during the song, singing "a song, played on a solo saxaphone..."

* All over the place in ''[[City of Angels (musical)|City of Angels]]''.

 

* Spoofed in ''[[Mother 3]]'', as it is the [[Leitmotif]] of the [[Flamboyant Gay|not-quite-so-sexy]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0xaZxMZGUE Magypsies]. The saxophone there had a weird, reverberated, distorted kind of sound to it.

** Later on in the game, it even serves as {{spoiler|a [[Musical Spoiler]] as to the true identity of Fassad as Locria, the seventh Magypsy}}.

* Martine's theme in ''[[The 7th Guest]]''

* Candi's theme in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''

 

== Western Animation ==

** Also, Bleeding Gums Murphy's album "Sax on the Beach".

* [[Kim Possible|Shego]] makes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN8_FLEK8gs an entrance] (at 1:20) as a distraction, with squealing trumpet.

** And before that: "[[Lampshade Hanging|I'm a]] [[Damsel in Distress|damsel]]... * GRUNT!* I'm [[Damsel in Distress|in distress]]. [[The Rest Shall Pass|I can handle this]]. Have a nice day. *Sexophone* "

* The same sexy saxophone riff shows up in all of MGM's golden age cartoons whenever an attractive female shows up, like ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' and shorts by [[Tex Avery]].

* Both played straight and averted in ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]''. The sexophone was used both upon arrivals of attractive women, as well as various scenes involving Stimpy (e.g. [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|a scene of him stripping of his fur before going skinny-dipping]]).

** And there's the two of them engaging in "phone sax", which is playing sexy saxophone songs over the phone to each other. Lois does it ''with her vagina''.

{{quote|'''Peter:''' "Don't wash the mouthpiece."}}

* One would occasionally be played for Rosie O'Gravy from ''[[Dog City]]''. Specifically whenever Ace Hart has an internal monologue in which he thinks fondly of her. Given the animated segments of the series parody classic detective stories, this is perhaps not surprising.

 

== Real Life ==

** Talk about [[Hilarious in Hindsight]].

* Prince, the musician: "If I want sax, I call Candy." (Candy Dulfer, sexy Dutch saxophone player).
