!!Real Life Examples:

* [[https://youtu.be/KLWpqZ8zhEw A mail-order service]] for ''Anime/ShimaShimaToraNoShimajiro'' videos had a jingle that went "Go go go, Shimajiro!", a pun on the Japanese pronounciation of the last six digits of the phone number "0070-800-555-426".

* Hilariously parodied in ''Series/TheITCrowd'': The new emergency number is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWc3WY3fuZU 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3]]

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', [[MissionControl Vic]] made one up for calling him, but it pretty much failed as it didn't rhyme and wasn't very catchy.

* The 1970's PBS children's show ''Series/{{ZOOM}}'' provides an extremely rare example of this being done to a ''mailing address'' instead of a phone number. It starts with everyone rhythmically speaking "Write Zoom, Z-double-O-M, box three-five-oh, Boston, Mass..." then everyone singing the five-note Zip Code jingle "Oh-two-one-three-four!" The 1990's revival carried the torch for a while, before it was changed in the last couple of seasons to the Creator/PBSKids [[TechMarchesOn email address]].

* In UsefulNotes/NewZealand, PizzaHut is well known for a particularly catchy phone number jingle:

** "Don't wait. Call 8."

* In ''WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC'', SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} has one for ordering a "Team Wade" t-shirt. Unfortunately, Deadpool's name exceeds the seven number limit.
