That Reminds Me of a Song: Difference between revisions

* "Those Magic Changes" from ''Grease'' has nothing to do with '''anything''' else that happens during the show; it's just a random "hey, let's sing a song" moment.

** They fix it in [[The Movie]], where instead of having Doody randomly play a song, a live band performs it in the background as a warm-up number for the National Dance-Off in Rydell High's gymnasium.

** Dude, "Super Trouper" is Donna's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]

* "Move, Move, Move Right Out of My Life" and the rest of the talent show from ''Dreamgirls'' does very little other than serve a nifty opener.

* Surprisingly, [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney]] has avoided this for the most part. Though some have argued that "Trashing the Camp" from ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'' qualifies.

** Well, there's also "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat" from ''[[The Aristocats]]''.

** ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]'' had a singing turtle as a narrator, who found any excuse to introduce a musical number into the story. The hero just made the princess laugh—time for a song! Pete is happy—time for a [[Villain Song]]! [[Happy Ending]]—One more song! That Reminds Me of a Song is practically his [[Catch Phrase]].

** We all know someone who feels "Human Again" from ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' and "Morning Report" from ''[[The Lion King]]'' were un-needed additions to their respective films, since the movies didn't have them originally. They aren't terrible songs, nor ''completely'' irrelevant (they're both in the stage versions of the respective movies, too). Neither of them exactly advanced the plot or provided much if any character development, but both were intended to be in the original production (and are in the Special Editions). Ditto with ''[[Pocahontas]]''' "If I Never Knew You", which does almost nothing but just be the love song for the film.
