Glass-Shattering Sound: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* Parodied in the film version of ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]] and the Prisoner of Azkaban''. The fat lady tries to sing high enough to break a glass, when she fails, she just shatters it against her frame:

* In ''[[Victor Victoria]]'', Julie Andrews' character does this with the high note at the end of her stage act (her voice also pops a champagne cork).

* In ''[[Splash]]'', Madison saying her real name [[Starfish Language|in her native language]] causes all the TV screens on a department store to shatter.

* There was a ''[[Spitting Image]]'' sketch in which [[Margaret Thatcher]]'s voice was so high it could shatter the glass in people's spectacles, until she was coached to speak more deeply. (The sketch ended with her sounding like [[Adolf Hitler]].)

* In one episode of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', special guest Ethel Merman shows Miss Piggy and Kermit what note you need to hit to shatter a glass.

** A series of newspaper comics had Piggy trying to do it herself. Her first attempt cracked the ''table''.

* [[Exaggerated Trope|Exaggerated]] in an episode of ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'', where [[Mariah Carey]]'s ultrasonic voice shattered the arena's lights, made nearby dogs suffer and caused [[Jim Carrey]]'s [[Your Head Asplode|head to explode]].
