Just because something is nonliving doesn't mean it can't be part of a song. This trope happens mostly in musicals and operas, when a character interacts with an inanimate object during a musical number. It exists partially to make a scene look more realistic.

* The character uses, say, a broom for its intended purpose, but doing it to the beat or rhythm of the music.
* The character dances with or plays with the broom during the song. Note: This trope incorporates inanimate objects as part of the choreography of a musical number.
