The Real Life folder has a ludicrous number of examples, should it not be its own page?

So this page has a folder for Music, and one for Real Life, which is full of Music Examples. So either the music folder should mostly be moved to Real Life, because the posts are real life examples and not in-universe ones, or most of the Real Life ones should be in Music. Any thoughts?

I remember this one movie where a guy and a girl are trapped in a bar and basically have this reaction to "Benny and the Jets". Thing is, I can't remember the movie, or even say for certain who the main actors were. Would "Benny and the Jets" count for this alone?

Pulled these while reorganizing the Persona tangle for being ZCEs:

  • Continued again in the remake of the first game, though with singing instead of rap:
    Save me from that blooooody destiny! How do feel said jeema ahfewjfhweiulehwf like this!
  • And yet again in Persona 3 Portable, with the rapping back.
    Demolition! Wiping all out! I want nose! Davewfwbefjwawaevaeipwhzc!

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

The examples page is pretty messy. I've seen Weird Al in no less than four or five places randmoly throughout the unsorted list dispersed between musicians, video games, TV openings, and even a few commercials. We should get some example folders in here soon.

Does anyone else think this is a TERRIBLE name for a trope? I'm of the opinion that tropes names that are vague references to the trope namer aren't good at all, and this is certainly a big example of that. So to rephrase my original question: Does anyone else think this should go up for renaming?

Nope. I think it perfectly encapsulates the trope in a nutshell.

I would like to make it known that I can sing both "The End of The World As We Know It" and "We Didn't Start the Fire". That is all.

Ok, but can you sing "L Ife is a rock (but the radio rolled me?"

  • waits and checks to see if that's on the list.*

I personally have no problem at all hearing the lyrics to Metallica's Battery or Tool's Vicarious... might have something to do with quality speakers / attentive listening?

I think this has become something of a Self-Demonstrating Article; there's no less than three different interpretations of the Trope Namer's lyrics on the page.

That wouldn't make the page self demonstrating. A self demonstrating article for this page would have an unreadable description apart from the last line.

Ah, right. Still, I think it's kinda funny.
