History Main / TickTockTune

* ''WebVideo/{[Jreg}}'': "I Watch My [=YouTube=] Videos At 2x Speed". The ticking is continuous throughout the song, but it becomes more prominent in the latter half as the song speeds up.

* "[[WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared Don't Hug Me I'm Scared II - TIME]]" uses this from start to finish, since the main subject matter of the video is time. [[/folder]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu9t98K4AQM Temporal Spire]]" from ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon 2''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'': Season 7 is time-themed, so Music/TheFold's intro song "The Temporal Whip" appropriately has a ticking clock sound throughout.

* "Ready or Not" by Music/FitzAndTheTantrums briefly uses a quick ticking clock sound before and throughout the second verse.

* Music/MarkWills' "Loving Every Minute" has a tick-tock effect throughout.

* In the original ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' TV series, one background music piece called "Marking Time, Waiting for Death" contains a ticking clock as part of its {{Leitmotif}}.

* Despite Tick Tock Clock (from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'') taking place INSIDE a clock, it doesn't have its own tune. In ''VideoGame/MarioKartDS'' however, it comes complete with its own tick-tock tune.

** The soundtrack for ''Film/{{Interstellar}}'' features clock ticking in some of the scores, most notably the track "Mountains" and its variations.
** His score for ''Film/{{Dunkirk}}'' also features the ticking of a clock. He reportedly incorporated recordings of a pocket watch owned by directer Christopher Nolan into the score.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'''s ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1CGUxespg Thunder Plains]]'' music uses metronomes.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umlu2QreoHE Temporal Spire]]" from ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon 2''.

* ''[[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/the-felt The Felt]]'', an album centered around the TimeMaster gang from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', has [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/swing-of-the-clock "Swing of the Clock"]], [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-broken-clock "The Broken Clock"]] and [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/time-paradox "Time Paradox"]].
** ''[[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/colours-and-mayhem-universe-a coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A]]'', also a ''Homestuck'' album, has [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/temporal-shenanigans "Temporal Shenanigans"]], which features similar clock ticking sounds.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chotMddRcV4 Watchin' and Waitin']]" which is a song about watching to see how the boys' inventions disappear before Mom gets home. There's also one with a clock theme for Candace waiting by the phone for Jeremy to call.

* The Fairy Queen's theme in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''.

Not to be confused with TickTockTerror, which is the use of various clock sound effects to create a creepy and/or oppressive atmosphere.

* Leroy Anderson's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrpdQngwk2g The Syncopated Clock]]", used as the theme tune for "The Late Show" and "The Late, Late Show".

* The theme from ''The Strange World Of Gurney Slade'' by Max Harris. Later used in ''Vision On'' as the music for the cuckoo clock animations.

* "Never Smile at a Crocodile" from ''Disney/PeterPan''. Appropriate, since [[TheCrocIsTicking the Crocodile swallowed a clock]].

* The AGD Interactive remake of ''King's Quest II'' has a track in the library of Kolyma that plays this to the library's grandfather clock. In the original versions, the mechanical nightingale in ''King's Quest VI'' makes a sound like this trope when Alexander winds it.

* In ''VideoGame/SplinterCellChaosTheory'''s bomb-disarming mission at the bathhouse, the beeping of the timers is integrated into the music, which gets [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic more frantic]] as the clock runs down.
