* A not-well-known PBS game show called ''Think Twice'' used this as contest music in its BonusRound. It starts with a clock ticking and adds tracks as the 60 seconds counts down. Also counts as a [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic Song in the Key of Panic]] (Nearing the end/hurry), even though it's kinda upbeat and fun.

* "Baba Yaga (Hut on Fowl's Legs)" from the ''Pictures at an Exhibition'' suite by Modest Mussorgsky; it's about a design for a clock in the shape of the hut of the named witch from Russian folklore, and the music strongly suggests the ticking of the clock, especially in the Isao Tomita interpretation.

* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' has Sylar's {{Leitmotif}}, which is not so much a "time is running out" as a creepy "this guy knows how things tick" thing.
* The theme tune from ''{{Callan}}'' is suspenseful and includes the suggestion of a slowly ticking clock, reinforced by the image in the opening credits of a swinging lightbulb as a substitute pendulum.
