“What’s a fake song,” you might wonder. Well, in this context, Twitter user Randall Otis means any song that is written to live within the world of a movie. So a kick-ass theme song doesn’t count. This does includes songs characters sing that didn’t previously exist in our world, the jams played by fictional bands, and some unexpected ditties.
It all began with this prompt.
What’s the best fake song? Like a song that exists in the world of a show/movie but not our world

Then, Twitter users had fun with it. Enjoy the music.
Some plucked songs from musical movies, like Freaky Friday, Inside Llewyn Davis, Love Actually, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga and That Thing You Do!
That thing you do. https://t.co/NXqLRz5eSU pic.twitter.com/pNC1athICW

All of the songs Rebecca Sugar has made for Adventure Time & Steven Universe have incredible melodies & gentleness. They all very much feel like jingles that the character made up on the spot, but all very earnest & true to the heart of the scenario.https://t.co/KRVFGwNifK
