In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Riker is giving a trombone concert and Troi insists that he play a fictional tune "Nightbird".As the audience cheers and claps along, his misery is palpable. He finishes playing it to a pub crowd, then tells them that he'd like to try a new song, causing Simon Pegg to drop his glass in horror while the audience begins calling for Streets Of London (again), ever louder and more insistently until he's forced to make a mid-song switch. A skit in sketch comedy show Big Train featured Kevin Eldon playing real musician Ralph McTell, who had a notable hit with the song "Streets Of London".

If watching Live-Action TV Sit Coms from The '60s has taught anyone anything, it's that the drunk in the piano bar will always ask for "Melancholy Baby".For a while, Jay Mohr could barely get through a show without someone demanding his Christopher Walken impression.At first, he reacts to the barrage of demands by saying that it's his version of hell but then decides that it's actually great to have people begging for his material. In a Patton Oswalt comedy double album, he gets demands for his "piss drinkers" routine, and fields a number of other requests.On one of his earlier albums recorded at the height of "Mork and Mindy"'s popularity, he turns down the same request by saying "I'm not doing Mork tonight because this is why I perform HERE, to do something different." The audience applauds in appreciation.

He declines, saying, "I don't 'nanoo' no more!"
