* Gender flipped with Jetta from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}''. Her main instrument is the saxophone in the pop band The Misfits, though she rarely honestly plays the sax in songs for whatever reason. Pizzazz sings a LesYay filled song called "I Like Your Style" when they first meet about how fashionable Jetta is and her sax skills.

* On ''ParksAndRecreation'', straitlaced boss-man Ron Swanson leads a double life at night, moonlighting as smooth jazz saxophonist Duke Silver. Predictably, the Duke is a hit with the ladies.
* ''DiffrentStrokes'': Arnold pretends to play sax in order to get in some girl's pants. Problem is, he can't really play. He ends up getting [[BruceSpringsteen Clarence Clemons]] to play BehindTheBlack while he lip-blew.
* On ''TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', Will did something similar with another famous (at the time) sax player.

Chicks dig saxophone players. We're not sure why, but playing a saxophone apparently makes a man more manly and sexy than if they played ''all'' the other brass and woodwinds combined. Maybe it has something to do with the graceful, feminine curve of the saxophone, or the way his hands hold it in a similar way to a lady's back could be caressed if she happened to be in its place. Or the amount of lip control required to play it. Whatever the cause, playing the saxophone is a surefire way to get girls... or get them hot and bothered.

* Yep, even musicians think about this, at least. SteelyDan gives us 'Deacon Blues', with the refrain starting 'I'll learn to work the saxophone/ I'll play just what I feel ... ', and a later verse suggesting 'I crawl like a viper through the suburban streets/ Make love to these women, languid and bittersweet ... '
