A common advertising jingle, usually among local businesses, in which the phone number of the service is sung. This makes it much easier to remember than if it were simply spoken. These jingles tend to be quite catchy. This may also be combined with a Spelling Song. Sub-trope to Telephone Song. |

Not advertising, but on an episode of Cheers, Fraser's son Frederick is given a teddy bear that repeats a jingle with a former girlfriend of Fraser's phone number (ostensibly so Frederick can use a similar jingle to remember his own phone number). Lilith (Fraser's then-wife) rips off the bears head. | |

The 1970s PBS children's show 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 PBS Kids email address. Another notable mailing address example that most '90s kids could probably still recite to this day: Scruff Mc Gruff, Chicago, Illinois, six-oh-six-five-two! |

In Red vs. Blue, Vic made one up for calling him, but it pretty much failed as it didn't rhyme and wasn't very catchy. | |

This one was so pervasive and, to many, abrasive, that The Good Place shows it to be the national anthem...of Hell. | |

While not exactly a commercial, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra's "Pennsylvania 6-5000" immortalized the phone number of the Hotel Pennsylvania, which was in continuous use from the 1930's until the hotel closed in 2020. Before its closure, the hotel claimed to have the oldest operating phone number in New York (in the sense of being assigned to the same individual or entity). | |
