Theme Song Reveal: Difference between revisions

* Listening to the ''Squiddles!'' album that was released as [[Homestuck]] merchandise [[Last Note Nightmare|tells you that something isn't quite right]] about the [[Show Within a Show|fictional show.]] So when ''Let the Squiddles Sleep'' played while Jade was trying to dream, the more devoted fans knew that something was going to go wrong.

** Album listeners will instantly know what will happen in Intermission 2 when the music starts playing. {{spoiler|The song used is "English".}}

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* Absolutely ''expertly'' used in the ''[[Batman the Animated Series]]'' episode "Perchance to Dream", where careful listeners get to notice the theme tune of the villain behind that episode's plot minutes before the reveal. {{spoiler|In the final confrontation at the Bell Tower, where Bruce fights the-Batman-who-isn't-him, the Mad Hatter's theme is being played by brass (instead of the usual flute), instruments usually reserved for our protagonist.}}

* On ''[[Gargoyles]],'' a rather surprising scene in "The Gathering, Part 1" reveals that [[Battle Butler|Owen]] expected [[Physical God|Oberon]]'s attack and planned defenses, but would not stay around to help Xanatos in the battle. Just before he leaves, a certain leitmotif hints at the next episode's twist: {{spoiler|Owen is, and always has been, [[Trickster Archetype|Puck]] in disguise.}}

* In Bruno Bozzetto's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYDUXWwQcoI&feature=related "Dancing"], the [[Ominous Pipe Organ|ominous groaning music]] causes the dancer to look around warily, followed by the [[Grim Reaper]] showing up.
