""Shave and a Haircut" featured in many early cartoons, played on things varying from car horns to window shutters banging in the wind. Decades later, the couplet became a plot device in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the idea being that Toons cannot resist obeying cartoon conventions. Judge Doom uses this to lure Roger Rabbit out of hiding at the Terminal Bar by circling the room and tapping out the five beats on the walls. The scene mainly uses the non-musical variant, simply knocking on a solid surface, employing the rhythm but not the melody of the tune, though on the last of Doom's repetitions, he softly sings the words to the beat, and Roger, at the limit of his self-control, bursts through the wall and sings (nearly shouting) "...TWOOO BIIITTS!" in response." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shave_and_a_Haircut Don’t forget the great scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, during which Christopher Lloyd plays it repeatedly to lure out the hidden Rabbit…. who cannot resist finishing the ending.

Works for me :) Also, a great reminder to hire a couple of DVD's of Steve Martin's earlier movies this weekend :) I hate to come across as an “A Course In Miracles” freak (because I seem to quote it so often), but the first 2 of its 365 daily lessons are entitled: “Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything.” and ” I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning that it has for me.” respectively.
