* The parody song ''How To Kill A Brand'', which mocks the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, is this nowadays. The line "Use Blu-ray, which I don't need" is especially funny.

* The TurnOfTheMillennium saw Music/{{Eminem}} deeply embroiled in a feud with Music/InsaneClownPosse, during which Em released [[Music/TheMarshallMathersLP a sketch]] in which Ken Kaniff receives enthusiastic oral sex from two men heavily implied to be ICP, as Kaniff refers to them as J and Shaggy (the members of ICP). Flash forward to 19 years later. Eminem and ICP had squashed their beef back in the mid-2000's, and Eminem later cited ICP as one of his influences on his own style in 2013. Now ICP have put out a song called [[Music/FearlessFredFury Be Safe]] that sees Shaggy getting so into his rap that he blurts out "[[HoYay I might suck a dick]]--" followed by a RecordNeedleScratch as Shaggy realizes what he just rapped and then corrects himself, "--[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments uh, I would never suck a dick!]]"

* In the eighties, the novelty song "Star Trekkin'" was a hit, and its single came with a B-side that used Star Trekkin's basic layout and lyrics to make a very vicious parody and mockery of the Music/BeastieBoys. As time went on, the Beastie Boys began dropping more and more Star Trek references, and eventually got featured in the 2009 and 2013 films.

* The song "Twin Rocks, Oregon" by Shawn Mullins has a line that goes: I don't reckon I'll be makin' it big/You know, it's hard to get rich off a tout of coffee house gigs/ And he said "Yeah, but ain't it a blessin' to do what you wanna do. "Twin Rocks, Oregon" just so happened to be on the same 1998 album as Mullins' other hit "Lullaby", the song that very well made him a buttload of money. So, in other words, Mullins found himself making money doing what he wanted to do.

* The metal news site Metalsucks.net ran an article stating that Chris Broderick had left Music/{{Megadeth}}, and had been replaced by Jeff Loomis as an April Fools Joke in 2014. Loomis actually DID join another band as a replacement guitarist later that year - he replaced Nick Cordle of Music/{{Arch Enemy}}.

* In "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", Bono sings "I have scaled these city walls only to be with you". 24 years later, Bono and the Edge would write the songs for the musical ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark'', about [[Franchise/SpiderMan a character]] whose speciality is scaling city walls.

* In a 1970 interview, Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}' Mick Jagger was quoted as saying, "I'd rather be dead than singing 'Satisfaction' when I'm forty-five." Sir Mick, now in his seventies, continues to perform the song at every Stones concert.

** Even more ironically, as of 2012-2013, Anna Geislerova has become somewhat ''more'' popular as a result of the video... [[IdenticalStranger and is considered to look like Creator/JessicaChastain]] -- [[{{Doppelganger}} although, shouldn't that be the other way round?]]

* When Seth and drummer Tim Morse came up with the band, they picked the title to be "really dumb and offensive". Years later, GG Allin would write a song parodying how people saw him as dumb and offensive, and, by pure coincidence, named it... Music/Anal Cunt.

* The song "On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe" mentions an engine numbered #49, but thereis no such thing as a Santa Fe railway locomotive in that number. Then in 2006, a diesel locomotive is repainted to Santa Fe's famous passenger paint and is numbered #49.

* Lionel Richie once wrote a touching and sentimental hit song, "Ballerina Girl," dedicated to his six-year-old daughter. It's a bit difficult to listen to this song now if you know that his daughter grew up to be professional celebu-skank Nicole Richie.

* John Mayer has made several headlines in 2010 due to the controversial things he's said during interviews, including "I am the new generation of masturbator," "Yeah, that girl (Jessica Simpson) is like crack cocaine to me," and "My dick is sort of like a white supremacist." This is the same guy who once wrote a song about when to just shut up, called "My Stupid Mouth." (My stupid mouth/Has got me in trouble/I said too much again...)

* In a 1970 interview, Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}' Mick Jagger was quoted as saying, "I'd rather be dead than singing 'Satisfaction' when I'm forty-five." Sir Mick, now in his seventies, continues to perform the song at every concert the Stones give.

* In the musical ''Theatre/TheMusicMan'', the song "Gary, Indiana" was originally a demonstration of how much of a liar Harold Hill was, as he was singing about living in Gary several years before it was actually founded in real life. It's much more ironic now when you juxtapose Harold's joyful "memories" of Gary with how much of a craphole the city is today.

* During a mid-nineties fad of [[PatrioticFervor Uber-nationalism]] in Venezuela, singer Carlos Baute rose to fame by singing several pseudo-folkloric songs, one of them is dedicated to claim how much he loved the country no matter how bleak the future looked and included the lyric "I stay in Venezuela, because I'm optimistic". Suddenly, in 2000, he moved his career to Spain, and has been trying to distance from his past and the controversial political situation of his home country since then. Even better: years later it was revealed that the song's main lyricist was another Venezuelan musician that was living abroad at the time of the song's composition and release
