| May 17, 2021 at 13:29 | comment | added | Clockwork | Someone pointed out this looks like a music identification question, which would be off-topic on this Stack Exchange. Now that I think about it, it does look like an ID question. | |

"No 'toon can resist the old 'shave and a haircut' trick". - I feel old now, @MichaelSeifert

| May 17, 2021 at 6:49 | comment | added | Mateen Ulhaq | I can't sight-read most music, but I figured this one out pretty quickly from the rhythm. :P | |
| May 17, 2021 at 4:17 | comment | added | Aaron | @user138719 How interesting they use it to open the tune! It's such a cliche ending that to hear it up front catches one's attention. | |
| May 15, 2021 at 16:49 | comment | added | user138719 | It is definitely Shave and a Haircut, though an early memory for me is the chorus line to the 1955 jazz tune Cloudburst. | |

| May 15, 2021 at 14:32 | comment | added | Aaron | @Fattie I've never hear that, and a quick Google search didn't show anything. Could you post the search you did? | |
| May 15, 2021 at 12:55 | comment | added | Fattie | BTW these days you often hear it described "shave and a haircut two cents" - if you're googling | |

| May 15, 2021 at 5:54 | comment | added | JounceCracklePop | Great answer, but I usually hear this with the middle two eighth-notes "swung"; that is, played as a triple without the middle note. "And" is a twelfth-note, then a twelfth-rest, then "a" is another twelfth note. Is that just understood when playing the two eighths? | |
