What occurs when characters who are normally at least somewhat straight-laced decide to shake things up and get down with their bad selves to, well, a [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Silly Song]].
 
The characters don't even have to be singing the song themselves. Someone unseen or offscreen could be singing it, or it could obviously be playing on a radio or stereo or over a P.A. Whatever the case, the characters will (sometimes literally) drop whatever they're doing and break into a boisterous (and, uh, [[Blatant Lies|totally spontaneous]]) dance sequence (or maybe some rollicking slapstick or acrobatics) that never fails to get the audience right into the mood along with them. When the song is over, [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|the characters will almost always simply resume their previous activities as if they'd never stopped performing them]].

* So, so many Disney classics:
** ''[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'': "The Silly Song" (appropriately enough)
** ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'': "I've Got No Strings"
** ''[[Dumbo (Disney)|Dumbo]]'': "When I See An Elephant Fly"
** ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'': "Les Poissons" (definitely counts as a [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|BLAM]] song)
** ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]'': "Gaston" (also counts as a [[Villain Song]])
** ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'': "Friend Like Me"
** ''[[The Lion King]]'': "Hakuna Matata"
** ''[[Pocahontas]]'': "Mine, Mine, Mine" (again, also a [[Villain Song]])
** ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'': "Topsy Turvy." (Also maybe "A Guy Like You," although in context that's more of an [["I Am Becoming" Song]].)
