Music
Typically appearing in works that employ a score with non-original elements, these are brief segments of standard songs — such as old songs that don't involve paying royalties — as themes for various types of scenes or activities. Some of these have become standardized, and in some cases they are the only reason that many people know the songs at all. Many of these have become verbal shorthand for particular nationalities or ethnicities, and thus may border on stereotypes.
