Product Information

During the " House of X and Powers of X" storyline, Fabio would make his home on the new mutant homeland of Krakoa where the true nature of his seemingly mundane mutant powers would be revealed. Working in conjunction with Proteus, Elixir, Tempus and Hope Summers, he uses them to resurrect Cyclops, Jean Grey, M, Nightcrawler, Warren Worthington III, Husk, Mystique and Wolverine under X's instruction. [3] After becoming a member of The Five, he changes his codename to "Egg". Referenced by name in the Big and Rich song "Freak Parade". Of course, the song consisted almost entirely of the phrase "Somebody's got to be unafraid to lead the freak parade" repeated over and over again, faster and faster until the end of the song. Every Drawn Together DVD set has a sing-along special feature. Considering what kind of show it is, you can probably guess what kind of things they use in place of a bouncing ball. In a sort of cross between this trope and closed captioning, displaying lyrics of opening and ending songs on screen is very common for not only anime, but Japanese TV in general. A sing-along version of Frozen was released in January 2014, where the audience can follow a bouncing snowflake. A November 2014 DVD/Digital HD re-release includes both the original and sing-along versions. Frozen II also received a sing-along re-release in January 2020, included as an extra on the Blu-ray, UHD, and Digital HD copy.

Follow the bouncing ball" is a technique of directing singalongs in movie theaters (and later on home video) where the lyrics are displayed as onscreen subtitles while a ball bounces along each word or syllable of the lyrics, in sync with the actual beat and rhythm of the song. Sing Along with Mitch is often thought to have used this trope due to "Common Knowledge", but Mitch Miller said this is due to people getting mixed up with the Fleischer sing-along short subjects of the 1920s and 1930s; his TV show merely showed the lyrics on-screen. This was used in the Great Mighty Poo's Villain Song in Conker's Bad Fur Day, where the lyrics were put up onto the screen whilst you read it with a ball made of crap... made even funnier by the profane and crude lyrics of the song. Averted by the VeggieTales sing along videos. Instead, the letters change colors (green to white in the first one, yellow to white in the second) when the words are sung. The Disney Sing-Along Songs tapes; for people who grew up around the time they were released, they are probably the example of this trope.

The DVD of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) includes a sing-along version of the "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" song with a bouncing dolphin, naturally. Referenced in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode Godzilla vs. Megalon during the "Jet Jaguar Song" host segment: "I'd tell you to follow the bouncing ball, but...uh...we don't have one." Galavant uses a bouncing bird for the lyrics of “Love Makes the World Brand New” in the second season. No other songs in the show have lyrics on the screen.

Thomas & Friends's songs use a cloud of smoke produced from Thomas' funnel at the beginning of each song in place of a ball. The Walt Disney Signature Collection of Blu-ray Discs and Digital HD copies provides optional color-changing subtitles for almost every musical. note The Signature Collection's first movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, doesn't have a Sing-Along option, as a bit of Early-Installment Weirdness; after Beauty and the Beast introduced this feature to the collection, every successive musical entry except for Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty repeated it. Drill-X in Skylanders: Giants is a large drill robot ... who sings. Sort of. True to form, his singing is subtitled, with a miniature icon of the robot's face bouncing across to the beat. ( video ) Homestar Runner: "Homestar vs. Other Little Girl" includes a sing-along for the song Other Little Girl improvises to help Homestar remember that people can't stay in two places at the same time. Unlike most examples, the ball bounces underneath the lyrics, instead of on top of them. Averted during the sing-along segments of The Beatles. The segments simply ran the text of the song lyrics, usually with a mini-adventure starring the Beatles, or a proto-music video.

In the film In Like Flint, when Derek Flint is on an Aeroflot plane going to Cuba, he starts a sing-along in Russian and a red star (symbol of the Soviet Union) bounces on the subtitled words (also in Russian) as they are sung. To this day, kids' singalong tapes and DVDs still use this technique from time to time; modern karaoke videos use a variant without the ball, merely by highlighting the appropriate text with the appropriate rhythm.

In fact, later Sing Along Songs releases have a new version of the theme sung by Sebastian the Crab that retains the "follow the bouncing ball" lyric, but the lyrics to the theme (and the songs afterward, by extension) are displayed using the highlighting method. Curiously, this version of the song does remove direct references to Disney.Some of the songs on the Animaniacs sing-along videos use the bouncing dot approach, some use the highlight-the-words one, and some just show the current line of the song. When Monty Python performed "The Philosopher's Song" during Live at the Hollywood Bowl, the "bouncing ball" was the head of a Bruce. Lampshaded on a musically themed episode of Muppet Babies (1984), where Bunsen's latest invention was the Bunsen Honeydew Self-Propelled Follow-the-Bouncing-Ball Ball. This allowed the otherwise musically inept Beaker to get in on the fun. ("Meep meep meep-meep-meep, meep meep-meep meep-meep...")

Spoofed in one episode of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, when the crystal ball used to talk with Vincent Van Ghoul goes into a stream. As the gang chase after it, Scrappy yells, "Follow the bouncing ball, and everybody SING!" What follows is a bad rendition of 'Row Row Row Your Roat' to which Van Ghoul comments, "This is the worst dinner music I have ever heard!" For the 2016 Week 2 Monday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears, ESPN ran a commercial implementing this trope with both teams' fight songs, using the teams' logos as the bouncing ball.The music video for Metronomy's "A Thing for Me" carries this into the real world...with hilarious results. Season 2 Episode 14 of Wakfu has this for the theme song in the opening credits, with Az as the "bouncing ball". The video for "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was) puts the chorus lyrics on screen with a bouncing ball, but over a completely different (and instrumental) section of the song.
