** The Creator/SandraBullock episode features a sketch that takes place in a psychiatrist's office. In it, Kermit tells the psychiatrist (played by Bullock) that he keeps seeing strange creatures every time he says the word "phenomena". Cue the Snowths. Shortly after, Bullock's character tries it out, and at one point starts to go into Mahna Mahna-esque scatting.

* Used as a running gag in an episode of ''Series/MuppetsTonight''. The characters keep mentioning Istanbul and Constantinople as though they were two different places, and every time they do, a band of rats dressed up as Turks pop up from nowhere to sing the penultimate verse of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)".
** Another episode had a chorus of Whatnots pop up to sing a variation of "Whip It Good"

* In the musical ''WonderfulTown'', Ruth wants to interview a group of Brazilian sailors, but they want her to teach them how to do the Conga first. She shows them how, and then starts rattling off her questions (in song), but is interrupted every fourth line by their shouts of "Conga!" and increasingly wild singing and dancing. She tries to get them to stop and listen to her, but is in the end literally carried away by the CrowdSong.

* A possibly accidental example in ''JekyllAndHyde'' with the five times "Facade" is sung by the chorus. Even more egregious by the fact that the song is meant to hammer home the very concept of the play that "If we're not one, but two, are we evil or good? Do we walk the fine line that we'd cross if we could? Are we waiting to break through the façade?"
