== [[Literature]] ==

* Kristina, one of the heroines in Vilhelm Moberg's ''[[The Emigrants]]'' novels, is fond of swinging and continues to do it in secret even when she's an adult. She first met her husband, Karl Oskar, while recovering from a wounded knee after she fell out of a swing, and interprets it as a sign that God makes bad things happen only so good things can come out of them. The musical adaptation, ''Kristina från Duvemåla'', opens with Kristina on her swing.

* Subverted in ''Superwally: The Advanced Wally Manual'' by Paul Manning, which describes "Wallettes" as sitting on the swings in public playgrounds to gossip, and swearing at small children who want a go. Not cute ''or'' hot.

 

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' has it on the promo pictures.

* Harry Enfield once did a parody of this trope. He made this [[Darker and Edgier]] film titled 'Poppet on a Swing' in one of his sketches.

== [[Puppet Shows]] ==

* One episode of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' had special guest Theresa Brewer in a recreation of the Fragonard painting. She attempted to sing "Spinning Wheel" while being pushed by Sweetums.

 

== [[Theater]] ==

* The first act of the dance musical "Contact" is based on ''The Swing'' painting. The Girl and [[Swapped Roles|The Servant]] have no problem making contact.
