The "phon-ke phon-ke" sounds like it's from the opening of "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" by Us 3. That's the song that almost entirely samples Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" and is a song that is ripe for use in commercials.

There were two songs I think I heard as snatches in a film or TV show. The first one went "Funky! Funky, funky" (*pronounced "phon-ke"?). The second one was a hip-hop song that had the chant "Yohu, yeah" over and over.
