This is when the music has ticking clock sound effects to it, or similar, such as instruments, metronome sounds, clicks, or even onomatopoeia. This is sometimes used to make you remember that, yes, time is running and to hasten the pace. Alternatively, the sound of a ticking clock can be used to symbolize the progression of time between verses, i.e. if the first verse is from the singer's perspective as a child or young person, the second verse will often be the singer's present-day viewpoint. Not to be confused with Tick Tock Terror, which is the use of various clock sound effects to create a creepy and/or oppressive atmosphere, or a "TikTok tune", which is a song that gained popularity on the social media platform TikTok. |

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. The tune is uncredited, and may be a piece of library music that the producers found. If so, great choice. |

"Human Again" from Beauty and the Beast had a recurring bridge of "Tick tock, the time goes, The days pass, the cock crows," causing the song to clock in at nearly eleven minutes in total and ultimately be deleted from the film and replaced with the much more compact "Something There." When the song was restored for the stage adaptation and the film's special edition, all traces of this bridge were removed and the song placed in a slightly different part of the story. | |

Despite Tick Tock Clock (from Super Mario 64) taking place INSIDE a clock, it doesn't have its own tune. In Mario Kart DS however, it comes complete with its own tick-tock tune: this is taken further in the rendition of the track in Mario Kart 8. | |

Also from Homestuck is the album coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A, with the track "Temporal Shenanigans", which features similar clock ticking sounds. |

The first episode of Chockablock (a British kids' show from the 1980s) features a song about a grandfather clock that has "lost its tock" and can only tick. After the clock's owner has tried Percussive Maintenance, straightening the pendulum and adjusting the weight (none of which work) his grandfather suggests he try saying words that rhyme with "clock", which does fix the problem. The clock can be heard ticking in the background throughout and chimes when its owner says a word that sounds like "clock". And, when its owner has come up with eight such words, the clock starts tick-tocking again. | |

Several of Johann Sebastian Bach's cantata movements are scored with pizzicato strings to suggest the passing of time, including the opening choral movement of Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben? (BWV 8), the accompanied recitative "Der Glocken bebendes Getön" from the Trauerode (BWV 198), and the aria "Ach, schlage doch bald, selge Stunde" from Christus, der ist mein Leben (BWV 95). These movements are typically about wondering when one will die. | |

The soundtrack for Interstellar features clock ticking in some of the scores, most notably the track "Mountains" and its variations. The time between each tick gets shorter and longer in parts of the song, symbolising the time dilation effect the characters go through due to them being very near a black hole. | |

Wheel of Fortune has two: one for the Speed-Up round (Final Spin) and another for the Bonus Round. Most of the Australian versions averted this, but the bonus round in Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune in 2008 not only had a tick-tock beat to the music, but it was also underscored by a robotic voice counting down the contestant's 10 seconds. |

Hans Zimmer is apparently fond of this trope. His score for Inception prominently features the ticking of a clock on several of its tracks. Not surprisingly, the perception of time is an important subtheme of the film. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows prominently features ticking in several scores, notably when someone is about to die, or when they're trying to stop his plans, with all the subtext that implies. The soundtrack for Interstellar features clock ticking in some of the scores, most notably the track "Mountains" and its variations. The time between each tick gets shorter and longer in parts of the song, symbolising the time dilation effect the characters go through due to them being very near a black hole. His score for Dunkirk also features the ticking of a clock. He reportedly incorporated recordings of a pocket watch owned by director Christopher Nolan into the score. |

The Wawku Shrine from Ōkami is actually a giant clock, and its music features various clock-sounds, including a rhythmic tick-tock motif. So does the theme of bosses of the place, Lechku & Nechku. Given they are a pair of clockwork owl demons with top hats, canes and monocles that are able to slow down time, it's pretty fitting. | |
