I'm planning on a project involving B.L.A Moments - but what scenes do you concider B.L.A Moments?

According to someone (I think, it was the Nostaliga Critic) a B.L.A Moment refers to; "a scene that comes right-the-???? out of nowhere, has little to no bearing whatsoever in the plot, is way over the top in terms of ridiculousness (even in the context of the movie), and after it happens, no one ever speaks of it again." In short: It refers to any and all random musical scenes that have no merit in terms of plot, are very over the top and silly, and are oddly never explained or mentioned ever. "

Be sure to post what film they come from - and you can avoid the suposed first B.L.A Moment, because thaqts's obvious (I am watching the film now, as it happens).

Oh, took me a moment to realize what you were talking about.

Big Lipped Alligator Moment - Television Tropes & Idioms (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigLippedAlligatorMoment) Fairly extensive set of examples here.

Warning: That's a link to TV Tropes, so don't click if you wanted to get anything done tonight. :p

The dance at the end of Slumdog Millionaire.

The laugh scene on FFX

The final scene in Labyrinth. Sarah has finally learned to grow up and up away her immaturites and accept becoming a woman. . . only to have all the Muppets randomly appear in her bedroom for a big Muppet dance party?

A Film I've seen has made it into the list - this one is easier to analyze (I already have an answer.)

A Film I've seen has made it into the list - this will make it easier for me to analyze this one with out having to track down the film (and, I may already have an answer.)
