The Something Song

Go To

It'll help if you just sing along!

A music trope, where a band or singer names one of their songs "The (Something) Song". Normally used light-heartedly, usually because the word that the song title references comes up in the lyrics a lot. Also used occasionally in musical theatre. The Japanese equivalent is "(something) no uta". At times, it will be employed in brackets after an alternate title.

Can sometimes be a form of Heavy Meta.

Examples

    • One of their songs is, of course, "Tsuki no Uta" (ツキノウタ), the season 1 finale... which they topped in season 2 with "Tsuki no Uta" (月ノ詩。). They're pronounced exactly the same, and they're referred to as "the katakana one" and "the kanji one".
    • Kakeru (the December representative) also has "Chikoku no Uta" ("The 'I'm Late' Song"), which is about... being late.
