Then, in the fourth film, Manny sang "The Candy Man" from ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' when trying to ignore the illusions that turn out to be piranhas. There's also that one scene in the second film, where [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment the heroes run from carrion birds singing "Food, Glorious Food."]] In that instance, it can likely be chalked up to RuleOfFunny, as the main group seems just as confused in a lampshade hanging way.

* Deliberately avoided in ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'' in general - the creators have said they always try to derive the song from the actual emotional arcs of the characters in the episode. However, some are a bit less relevant than others. "California Christmastime" occurs during the ChristmasEpisode but doesn't really relate to the characters very strongly; Bloom was uncertain about keeping it, but decided the show needed a CrowdSong after almost everything up til this point had been a solo, especially since this would be the last episode to air before a long break and it seemed a good idea to end on a positive note. (Though she did joke that she would prefer all songs on the show to involve a single character in the spotlight singing about suicide.) Even more to the point is "Heavy Boobs" - Bloom wanted to do a song satirising the sexualisation of big boobs for a long time, and kind of deliberately wrote the plot of the episode so as to give them a place to put it in (Rebecca is being self-deprecating to make Valencia feel more comfortable and ends up trying on a wedding dress to show how weird her big chest would look in it, leading to Valencia trying it on and Paula's sabotage).
