Not convinced it's an idiomatic phrase. --WF on Holiday (talk) 15:31, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Keep. Seems very idiomatic to me, but perhaps move to RfV? (if this section is moved to RfV my vote should be striked out) W3ird N3rd (talk) 19:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Anyone can make up a metaphor. This would only be idiomatic if it's used commonly enough with this specific meaning, which I'm not sure is the case. I think this belongs in WT:RFV. --WikiTiki89 19:33, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Keep. Possibly dated, but very common in mid-20th century parlance, and frequently parodied. P Aculeius (talk) 22:56, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Keep. I think it has been in fairly widespread use or, at least, its use is memorable and fairly common. Do we (or any other dictionary) have the metaphorical sense of music involved? I don't think it's the same metaphorical sense as in either face the music or music to my ears. DCDuring (talk) 23:11, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
