If a character enters an elevator for any reason, the muzak playing on its speaker system -- regardless of the program's genre -- is almost always some version of "The Girl from Ipanema" by the great Antonio Carlos Jobim. (If not, it's probably the "Theme from A Summer Place" [which would probably be referencing a comfortable break from the action].) Of course, few if any elevators nowadays actually have muzak piped in anymore, making this something of a Dead Horse Trope. Examples of The Elevator From Ipanema include:

Of course, few if any elevators nowadays actually have muzak piped in anymore, making this something of a Dead Horse Trope. Some choose to trace this back to directors such as John Landis, who used it as an in-joke in every scene he shot in an elevator. This is usually an integral part of an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment.
