All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVIII

[Bob Schroeck]

And as long as we're cleaning up the Trope Workshop... I've got this note in my sandbox that barely counts as an idea for a trope, assuming it is a trope. Am I working on a useful note instead? Or maybe something that's too rare to trope?

== Trope Workshop:Style Mismatch ==
''Don't know whether this is actually a trope or just a list of musical oddities. If it's the latter, toss it.''

A song is written in a style that's usually used for a completely different topic.

''needs a better description''

=== Music ===
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsDkmVo2fg4 "The White Collar Holler"] by [[Stan Rogers]] is a working-man's blues tune about having a desk job.
* "Ride That Lightning" by [[Chris Hadfield]] is a gospel tune about space flight.

I think I missed this when you posted it because it was at the top of the "next page" of the thread, and I have a habit of not noticing when new posts cross the page boundary. I know I've seen this before and I might even have a few examples in my MP3 collection. But you'll need to draw a fine line between it and "In the Style Of" -- this is about a mismatch between genre and subject, which can lap over onto the existing trope if you're not careful. In fact, there may be potential examples for this trope on that page...
