Line 417:
* The Statler Brothers' 1972 country hit "Do You Remember These" has a quick line, "Veronica and Betty" toward the end of songs, part of a longer list of 1950s nostalgia.
* [[Gorillaz]] has one gender-inverted example in the backstory: [[The Pete Best|Paula Cracker]] was the steady girlfriend of the [[Nice Guy|sweet]] yet [[Kindhearted Simpleton|naive]] [[Idiot Savant|2D]] (Betty), but got kicked out of the band after [[Your Cheating Heart|cheating on him]] with his [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|dark-themed]], [[Jerkass|anti-social]] teammate [[Small Name, Big Ego|Murdoc]] (Veronica).
** While there's no love triangle present, one could argue this applies to Noodle and the aforementioned Paula. On first appearances, it could be assumed Paula is the Betty due to being the superficially polite girlfriend of 2D and the first guitarist of the band, while Noodle (after [[She Is's All Grown Up|growing up]]) is the Veronica due to being the exotic new addition and being prone to tomboyish, more revealing outfits. As seen above, Paula is actually the Veronica due to the aforementioned cheating and proving herself to be a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|deeply unpleasant person]] in her solo interview, while Noodle is the Betty since she's a [[Nice Guy|Nice Girl]] who pretty much [[The Heart|holds the band together]].
