A chorus punchline.

If you've watched enough television, I'm sure you're familiar with how the songs on "WKRP in Cincinnati" perfectly matched the scenes for which they were tracked. Or that one bit in the "Road Worrier" episode of "Daria" that was a take-off of the REM video "Everybody Hurts". Sadly, the mood of both of these examples was marred by the replacement of less-expensive sound-alike music for the DVD releases.

And this isn't even exclusive to television. Apparently, Van Morrison's "Brown-Eyed Girl" is expensive as shit nowadays because, while watching Fatal Instinct on Hulu, I found that the scene that originally utilized the song - a take-off of the inexplicable 'dress-up' montage from Sleeping with the Enemy, and does the Blu-Ray of this movie even still have the song? - used a completely different tune. The scene is still amusing, but it loses something minus this vital component. Just weird.
