* ''VideoGame/RavingRabbids'' The covers from the first two games sound close to the Rabbids true voices, maybe sounding a bit like Gummibär, but this trope gets played straight in "Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party" Where the Rabbids who sang the covers sound surprisingly baritone or like Freddie Mercury in "Ladies Night", Born To Be Wild" and "Another One Bites the Dust", but special mention goes to their cover of You Know I'm No Good". While Music/AmyWinehouse had the voice of an African-American soul singer when singing, the Rabbids singing of that song sound as if a child was singing it, or maybe a bit like [[Music/HatsuneMiku Miku.]]

When a character has two different voice actors; one for music and one for speech, that's a NonSingingVoice. Also see VocalDissonance, with which it sometimes overlaps.
