[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* Invoked by [[FirstPersonSmartass Harry Dresden]] (of TheDresdenFiles) - as he's about to confront a powerful necromancer, he comments that if his life were a movie, dramatic music would start playing, but his life must be really low budget, as all he got was a "radio jingle for some kind of submarine sandwich".



* ''{{Aquaria}}'' is an interesting case: the BGM heard throughout the game [[spoiler:was woven into the fabric of the underwater world by [[PhysicalGod a boy who acquired god-like powers]] and couldn't get [[ArcWords the verse]] of his mother's nursery rhyme out of his head]].

* Unusually for a fighting game, the music in most ''PowerInstinct'' games is diagetic - you can see the musicians in the background performing the song in each stage.

to:

* ''AceCombat5'' has music actually playing in-universe at two points. The first is when the squad is celebrating their destruction of the Hrimfaxi submarine - interestingly enough, the music is taken from the game's arcade mode. The second is at the start of the "Sea of Chaos" mission, where Captain Andersen plays "The Journey Home" over the Kestrel's loudspeaker, though after about a minute it undergoes a DiegeticSwitch.

* The music in one scene of the ''CowboyBebop'' episode "Black Dog Serenade" seems to be diegetic, in that the music stops suddenly when the view cuts to Fad turning off a monitor before going to confront the episode's bad guy.



** During the Pvt. Jenkins helmet cam cutscene, the Marines are listening to "flip music"(heavy-metal type stuff) onboard the Pelican. This song is unfortunately not on the soundtrack album.

After about two seconds [[DiegeticSwitch it switches]] as the credits actually come up... and then two ''more'' seconds later, the credits and the music disappear entirely, [[BreakingTheFourthWall as Granny comments "nobody cares who these people are!"]]

* Lampshaded and played straight in ''Witch''. The recently arrived at Earth, Orube, comments how funny the TV seems to be here, and the one thing that catches her attention most is that people inside the movies always seem to be accompanied by music in some scenes. At the end of the comic she decides to go out and in that same moment her neighbor is playing the piano, she approves of his playing skills and decides that tune to be her personal soundtrack.

I\'ve been watching non-gamers play Portal for a little while. I seem to notice this a lot; hell, even I linger in that room every playthrough.

Added DiffLines:

** Alternatively serves as a ThemeMusicPowerUp for some players, calming them down so they can finish the first "scary" level of Portal. Super effective if they already know the song.

--> '''Fry:''' Yahoo! Crank up the stereo!
--> ''(Fry turns on stereo)'' '''Stereo:''' "We're whaling on the moon-" ''(Fry turns off stereo hastily)''

* A lot of the music in ''RioBravo'' is source music, from the playing of ''Deguello'' to wear down the besieged to Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson singing and whistling. This was a conscious choice by director Howard Hawks to the overpowering use of the theme tune and song in ''HighNoon''. Funnily enough, Dimitri Tiomkin composed the score for both films.

He listened to it ''on the train'', for that matter, and during the [[spoiler:FinalBattle]] --it must be his favorite.
