Hello

I've become obsessed with figuring out the origin to a very ubiquitous piece of music

It pops up a lot of places, but you can hear it at the very end of this song (4:49 mark)



It's a little musical sting, usually signaling "the end" of something. I keep thinking it's something from Looney Tunes, or from an old ragtime tune, but I can't place it. And it's impossible to Google!

Do you know? Can you help?

sounds like something Nickelodeon used, but I can't pinpoint for what exactly.

Thanks. They definitely use it at the very end of the intro. But I'm certain that's not the origin

Wikipedia says the intro is a Dixieland arrangement of the William Tell Overture, if that helps.

Maybe write a hit song that uses that sting and wait and see who sues you?

Yeah I want to say the origin probably cannot be placed. It's just one of those things. Sorry Jorge.

Sounds like a standard showtune conclusion cue you'd hear on piano. Not sure what it's called.

I think it might be part of the animaniacs theme?

It probably has its roots in vaudeville

Don’t think this is it. But this is the origins of the Looney Tunes song.



«The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down» is a song written in 1937 by Cliff Friend and Dave Franklin. The tune first appeared in the Merrie Melodies cartoon short Sweet Sioux, released June 26, 1937.»
