I realise this is very specific. I’m looking for songs within TV shows which are created for the sole purpose of the in-show universe, so (for example) a character writing an original song which they then perform in the show. Best example of this for me is Peep Show’s This is Outrageous where the joke is that the song is terrible, but I actually unironically love it.
Honourable mention for the 9/11 musical (yes) from Skins with Then Came the Day, which still gets stuck in my head.
