I can't think of a specific song but I can say that I hate when radio ads do that shit.

There used to be a ad for an auto body repair, Maaco. Their ad would end with spelling out the name, but in the middle were horns honking, "M double A (Beep Beep) C O" Fucking hated that ad.
The fact that you remember this is exactly why they will keep doing it. Remember: ads are psychological warfare.
But he got the chain wrong :)
Alternate view: they hate the wrong chain, ergo the ad still worked.
I hate ads. And now hate Maaco & Aamco too.
Unfortunately for any ads that try to pull this shit on me these days, my brain automatically overwrites the memory of it with the OG rage-inducing advertisement
"Head on, apply directly to the forehead!"
Nah it was similarly-named Aamco.
"Double A (beep beep) M C O"
Not quite what you're asking, but I once fell asleep on a long haul flight listening to a Cinematic Orchestra album with some very comfy headphones.
I woke up to a little filler / ambient track that is mostly silence with a ship's fog horn blown a few times... The cabin was dark, most people were asleep or quietly watching movies, and my half asleep brain forgot I was wearing headphones. I went from confused to creeping panic about what this horn meant and why no on else was reacting to it until I finally woke up properly
That's a great story!
Anything by Skrillex.
First of the Year (Equinox) especially springs to mind... "CALL 911 NOW!"
Time by Pink Floyd.
Back in the day. Moped, cassette Walkman, and very early wired earbuds. The engine noise covered the several minutes of ticking in the beginning, so it seemed like the tape had stopped. Then the alarm clocks kicked in and startled me so badly that I almost crashed.
Lolz.
Not the worst but has horns and tires screeching: βToxygeneβ by The Orb
Dream Theater - A Nightmare to Remember
Last Kiss
My wife added ABBA's Dancing Queen to our driving playlist for our first long trip. Silence into a deafening piano slide half way through the drive was an interesting way to nearly die from shock.
I have crossfade on to help with this. But was it as bad as James Brown's I got you?
Not an answer but noticing you username and the question do not go together at all threw me there, respect
The closest i have is Local H, Bound for the Floor. The staccato distortion throughout makes (to my ears) a sound very similar to a 1992 Ford Tempo's "Your seatbelt isn't latched" chime.
I would be driving like a madman to highschool after oversleeping and it would make me keep double checking my belt.
Anything by Blippi, but in particular, the police car and firetruck songs
6 O' Clock News by Merkules and Chris Webby always gets me with the horn and siren bit.
