A character's strength and abilities are directly proportional with how cool their personal theme music is. The more suddenly it starts up and the louder it is, the more butt-kicking is about to commence. This applies to both heroes and villains and is a power that the Badass Normal is allowed to use. Alternatively, the music is a representation of the character getting into "the zone". Video games will sometimes have a variation of this, where a specific jingle plays during temporary power-ups, like invincibility due to an Invincibility Power-Up; see Power-Up Motif.

If a Theme Music Power-Up is defeated, then it's The Day the Music Lied. If it's in particularly spectacular fashion, it may end with a Record Needle Scratch or by Letting the Air Out of the Band (or, if you're really unlucky, a Last-Note Nightmare). Ominous Latin Chanting, the One-Woman Wail or the Cherubic Choir are popular choices for this, as are a techno beat or heavy metal riff. Sometimes near the end, the series Theme Song will play, allowing every good guy to kick some major rear at the Grand Finale. This is a Last Episode Theme Reprise. Compare Autobots Rock Out, Most Wonderful Sound, Power-Up Motif, and Music for Courage. Examples of Theme Music Power-Up include:
