If there is a topic already about this, I certainly don't know about it (and this coming from your neighborhood-friendly Search Nazi).
Anyway, the last episode of "As the World Turns" was today and I noticed that during a couple scenes, they actually used some of the Enchanted score (namely the soft flute/strings/piano piece "Robert Says Goodbye") during a scene between Katie and Chris that segued into a scene with Bob and Kim. It sounded so fitting with what they were talking about, that had I not known it was from Enchanted would have figured the show's composer really brought out the big guns for the last episode. Once someone uploads the final episode to youtube, which I'm sure will happen before the day's over, I'll post it here so everyone can watch and listen.
But it got me thinking, what are other instances in movies or television where a Disney song was used as background music? I'm not talking about something like a character humming "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" or something. But when a song is used as an instrumental piece to heighten the drama or comedy in a scene.

Thanks, Justin! I haven't seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind since 2007, and at the time I wasn't fully invested in watching it (I had just come home from a funeral, so my mind was on other things). Will have to check it out soon.
I've never seen Full Metal Jacket (shocking, I know). Is there Disney music at the end of that?
I guess I could change the original intent of the thread to include lyrical uses of songs. But one where it's a natural part of the film and characters, and not necessarily a "Hey look, we're gonna briefly reference something Disney!"

That Disneyland episode of Roseanne (Part 2) played "When You Wish Upon a Star" as well- but on DVD, of course, they cut it out.
Oh, and, speaking of British comedy... there was an episode of some show (I can't remember which one) where they started trying to whistle "Whistle While You Work" and they purposely get it wrong (probably to avoid being sued). I also heard this screwed-up whistling of this song in a little low-budget horror movie from the 80's once. That's Disney for ya, famous for 2 things: family entertainment and screwing (suing) people!
