* In the first ''Film/InspectorGadget'' movie (the live-action ones by Disney), when Gadget is being taught how to use his new abilities, one scenario is that he's supposed to stop a jewelry-store robbery by giving the robbers [[{{Pun}} the slip]]. While he's thinking, [[IdeaBulb a lightbulb rises from his hat]] and the first eight notes of "Think!" plays. When he gets an idea, the bulb lights up, and his next line: "Go, go, gadget oil slick." (buzzer sound) [[ItMakesSenseInContext Toothpaste comes out.]]

* ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' itself capitalized on this by changing its own theme tune to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6rHqrLA7aw an upbeat remix of "Think!"]] in 1984. Various other themes had been used during the Art Fleming-hosted versions of the show (the original 1964-75 theme was called "Take Ten" and was written by Merv Griffin's wife at the time, Julann). One year's college tournament was hosted at Yale University, and had Final Jeopardy for the tournament's finale accompanied by an ''a cappella'' performance of the song by Yale's ''a cappella'' ensemble, the Whiffenpoofs.

* A ''WesternAnimation/TomTerrific'' story arc had Tom and Mighty Manfred trying to find Sindbad the Sailor and get him to use his last wish so the genie that granted the wishes can return to his lamp. Tom and Manfred encounter a sorcerer in a flying booth, and they ask him where Sindbad could be. The sorcerer, like a contestant on the quiz show ''Series/TwentyOne'', thinks and gestures like a contestant with think music playing in the background. Manfred even says "Take all the time you need."

* The Bakshi ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' episode "See You In The Funny Papers" had the hero bound by a villain, and his only means of escape is by solving a rebus. As he tries to, the music from the "Cover Up" game on ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' is used. (Both shows had their music furnished from Score Productions. )
