Factoid "Shave and a Haircut" and the associated response "two bits" is a simple, 7 note musical couplet. It has an interesting history was used as a form of communication by prisoners in the Vietnam war. One prisoner would tap out the rhythm of the first 5 notes onto his cell wall and wait for the answering 2 notes to know they were being heard.
