* Danilo Thann, a bard from [[Forgotten Realms]] novels by Elaine Cunningham, used to sing these as a part of his [[Rich Idiot With No Day Job]] image and even wrote some himself. The books include a few fragments of the ''Ballad of the Zhentish Raiders'' who "[[But You Screw One Goat!|kill off all the women / For they much prefer the sheep]]" and "[[Be Careful What You Wish For|Elminster's Jest]]" ([http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1888&whichpage=22#61128 see its full lyrics]).

* Period drama ''[[Upstairs, Downstairs]]'' has one of these, and it's a [[Theme Tune Cameo]], at that! In her music hall act, Sarah performs the stately march of the opening theme as a rollicking [[Bawdy Song]], "What Are We Going to Do with Uncle Arthur?"
