* Something similar happened on ''Series/GilligansIsland'', when Gilligan's fillings start picking up radio waves after he gets hit in the head with a coconut.

* ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' does a variation of this trope. Stitch doesn't swallow Lilo's record player. But if you put his claw on the record, it works as a needle, and if you open his mouth, he becomes a phonograph.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Discworld/SoulMusic'', mention is made of a kid with a penny-whistle whom the Musician's Guild "dealt with" for playing unlicensed music, who now plays a chord whenever he hiccups.

* If you stick an earbud into both of your nostrils and open your mouth, the sound will be amplified, and come out of your mouth.

* There's that urban legend about Creator/LucilleBall having a tooth filling which worked as a radio receiver. It was busted on ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}''.
* ''Series/TheGoodies''. In "Lighthouse Keeping Loonies" the fog is closing in around the Jolly Rock lighthouse. Graeme switches on the foghorn, startling an over-sensitive Tim who yells at him to turn it off. Graeme does so but the foghorn continues to blare, even after they [[ItWontTurnOff repeatedly flick the switch, pull out the power cord, rip the foghorn to bits and jump up and down on it]]. Finally in desperation Graeme swallows the part emitting the most noise, whereupon silence ensues. Until he opens his mouth to speak. Graeme then sticks his head out the window so he can blare out a warning, but then ends up emitting an electronic squawk until a glass of water washes it down completely.
** The Goodies also did a variation on this when they themselves ended up [[DontAsk in the stomach of a preserved dinosaur]] and were forced to manipulate its vocal cords to broadcast a plea for assistance.

* The Petes' mother in ''Series/TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete'' could pick up Mexican radio stations from the plate in her head.
* Done in ''Series/GreenAcres'' where a cow swallows the transistor radio right before one of the characters is listening in for his chance to win on a radio show. The station changes whenever the cow burps and HilarityEnsues.
* ''Series/EerieIndiana'' had a variation: A boy who could hear the thoughts of the neighborhood dogs through his headgear.
* A ''Series/GetSmart'' episode had a country singer (guest star Carol Burnett) swallowing a KAOS radio receiver shaped like a martini olive. Siegfried abducts her and tries listening to the broadcast in her stomach, but her nervous hiccups end up trying his patience.
* In one of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'''s At The Dance sketches, Gonzo asks a dancer if it's the monster who ate his harmonica. The monster responds with a musical note.

* The first ''Film/CharliesAngels'' movie used dental fillings.

* The satellite phone gets eaten by a Spinosaurus in ''Film/JurassicParkIII.'' The characters know they're in trouble when they hear the Nokia jingle.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' has this example when Patrick's head gets stuck through a trombone, essentially giving him a long brass neck.

** In another classic short, Pluto becomes obsessed with music. When he sits down in front of a radio, his butt hits the start lever on a gramophone, and when his wagging tail touches the spinning disc, music comes out of his mouth.
** Another Disney short also features Pluto using his tail as the stylus for a record player, turning him into a speaker. The short ends with Pluto wowing the lady-dogs by playing a Frank Sinatra single.

* Something similar happened on ''Series/GilligansIsland'', when Gilligan's fillings start picking up radio waves after he gets hit in the head with a coconut. (I swear, coconuts are like [[LightningCanDoAnything lightning]] on that show...)

* Music/LaurieAnderson would put a small speaker in her mouth playing a recording of violin music as part of her "United States" multimedia performance.

* ComicBook/{{Lobo}} once swallows a harmonica during a fistfight without noticing. His subsequent wheezing and the dark spot that shows up on the X-ray chart ends up being mistaken for lung cancer and promptly PlayedForLaughs as a desperate Lobo tries to quit smoking.

* Lobo once swallows a harmonica during a fistfight without noticing. His subsequent wheezing and the dark spot that shows up on the X-ray chart ends up being mistaken for lung cancer and promptly PlayedForLaughs as a desperate Lobo tries to quit smoking.

** And comic ElBrendel does this with a small harmonica in 1931's ''Mr Lemon of Orange''.

** The Goodies also did a variation on this when they themselves ended up [[DontAsk in the stomach of a preserved dinosaur]] and were forced to manipulate it's vocal cords to broadcast a plea for assistance.

** In "WesternAnimation/MouseTrouble" he accidently swallowed a robotic female mouse programmed only to say "Come up and see me sometime." It becomes a RunningGag throughout the rest of the short that every time Tom hiccups you hear the same female voice saying "Come up and see me sometime."

** Mr. Krabs eats Spongebob's squeaky boots because he couldn't stand the constant squeaking, this later backfires because he starts to make the same squeaks whenever he hiccuped.

* One [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Disney cartoon short]] had DonaldDuck come into possession of an ostrich. The ostrich swallows a radio and begins playing music.
** In another classic short, Pluto becomes obsessed with music. When he sits down in front of a radio, his butt hits the start lever on a gramaphone, and when his wagging tail touches the spinning disc, music comes out of his mouth.

* An animated short from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' was about DonaldDuck accidentally swallowing a numeric keypad at an information kiosk.

* In the short [[DepatieFrelengEnterprises "Transistorized Shark"]], Misterjaw accidentally swallows a portable radio belonging to one of his victim and really freaks out Freddie the Shark Hunter when it broadcasts at terribly inopportune moments.

* The trope was parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' where Quack Quack the duck, [[TheUnintelligible who can only say the word "quack"]], accidentally swallows a spoon and gets the ability to sing actual words in a marvellous voice with no explanation of how that works.

** In "Mouse Trouble" he accidently swallowed a robotic female mouse programmed only to say "Come up and see me sometime." It becomes a RunningGag throughout the rest of the short that every time Tom hiccups you hear the same female voice saying "Come up and see me sometime."

* Lobo once swallows a harmonica during a fistfight without noticing. His subsequent weezing and the dark spot that shows up on the X-ray chart ends up being mistaken for lungcancer and promptly PlayedForLaughs as a desperate Lobo tries to quit smoking.
* In a ''ComicBook/SpirouAndFantasio'' album ("Qrn pour Bretzelburg"), the Franchise/{{Marsupilami}} once swallows a state-of-the-art miniaturized radio transistor (it is the Seventies), which somehow ends up stuck in its nose and starts working intermittently, initially startling Fantasio in thinking [[TalkingAnimal it could speak]], then depriving him for sleep when it refuses to shut up, before picking up a distress radio signal and starting the plot.

[[caption-width-right:328:iSophagus--Classic Edition!]]

The iSophagus is any instance where, by swallowing a musical device or instrument, the swallower no longer speaks but emits music. Sometimes the person who swallows said item can magically control what is coming out of his/her mouth. Barring that solution the person must inflict bodily harm to him/herself to "change the channel." Oddly enough, all that is required to make no noise is to shut his/her mouth. It stays in the person until it is [[NobodyPoops expelled by hiccoughing or coughing, or else forgotten]].

** Mr. Krabs eats Sponebob's squeaky boots because he couldn't stand the constant squeaking, this later backfires because he starts to make the same squeaks whenever he hiccuped.
