== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[5 Centimeters Per Second]]'': Most of the music in the film is an arranged version of either the piano theme from the trailer, or of "One More Time, One More Chance"
Line 25:
* ''[[The Fountain]]'''s score uses several variations of "Death is the Road to Awe."
* [[Paul McCartney]]'s soundtrack to the 1966 film ''The Family Way'' largely consists of variations on the main theme. It is lovely, though, to the extent that McCartney had it played as he walked down the aisle (the second time).
* Just about any [[Irving Berlin]] film, like ''[[Holiday Inn]]'' or ''[[White Christmas]]'', because by contract only his music could be used them. Consequently, the melodies of the various musical numbers will be found weaving in and out of the background music.
 
== Live Action TV ==
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
* ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'' remixes the Windy area theme to make the Barn Boys, Bats' Tower and Uga Buga theme.
* Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts' soundtrack is based on orchestral remixes of old melodies from the first two games.
* ''[[Nie RNieR]]'''s soundtrack is predominated by "Ashes of Dreams", which has several variations on its own... and then shows up in "Dispossession" and "Yonah", both of which have ''their own variations''. [[Crowning Music of Awesome|No complaints from the fandom, though.]]
** In addition, several other themes return in variant forms: {{spoiler|"Song of the Ancients"}} gets a dramatic [[Dark Reprise]] for the boss fight with {{spoiler|the Twins}}, "Kaine Salvation" returns as the lively "Kaine Escape", melancholy "Emil Sacrifice" becomes the [[Triumphant Reprise]] "Emil Karma", and "Shadowlord" shows up several times.
* The SNES version of ''[[SimCity]]'' used variations of a main theme for each stage of your city's development.
