* In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "Environmental Science", Abed starts one of these by singing [[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail "Somewhere Out There"]] for a reason that MakesSenseInContext. The camera jumps between him and two other scenes, and in one of the other scenes, a band starts playing, resulting in an amazing DistantDuet that continues through all three scenes.

!Examples:

A technique used mainly in television and film. A character is shown singing a song for in-universe reasons. The camera then cuts to a different scene with different characters in a different place. However, the audience can still hear the first character's song.

Very similar to DiegeticSwitch, minus the switch. In this trope, the music that's heard in the second scene is the same that is heard when the singer is on-screen.

* In ''VideoGame/ArTonelico'', when a [[MagicMusic Hymnnos song]] starts anywhere in the Tower, it acts as the background music everywhere.

* ''Series/{{GameOfThrones}}'': Right before [[spoiler: the Red Wedding]], a band begins to play the Rains of Castamere. Cut to Arya and the Hound outside, where the music is still fully audible.
