* ''Series/OddSquad'':
** "IsThereADoctorInTheHouse", Dr. O's theme song, is an example of this. It plays at the end of "Oscar of All Trades" and also serves as a BoastfulRap, as it's about Dr. O being an expert "in everything that you don't know".
** "A Likely Story", the [[LetsDuet duet]] between Olympia and Otis in "The Cherry-on-Top-inator" as they tell their story of how the eponymous gadget helped them to Oona, has one that's smack-dab in the middle of the song as Otis, Olympia, and the chef at the restaurant they're disguised at try to figure out what the Puppy Master's favorite dish is.
