My favourite pedagogic illustration of the concept of diegetic/non- extra-diegetic sound is from Mel Brook's *High Anxiety* : the car speeding along the highway with the two lovers romantically together, underscored by string music - then a busload of violin-playing musicians is seen overtaking the car with the lovers - hilarious - and what's more: after seeing that one the students will never forget the distinction between diegetic and non-diegetic sound!
