This is the six note Intro Fanfare to a Song and Dance number. (Actually, it's a somewhat shortened version of an older 16-note intro, the shorter version being the more common these days.) Three notes of the same pitch, then up a full, up a half, up a half. "Dadum dadum dum dum!" It's rather ubiquitous, and originates from vaudeville or perhaps even earlier. In vaudeville it was known as the "Minsky Pickup" (undoubtedly named after Minsky's Burlesque and perhaps originating there), but it has also been called the "Cockney Intro" (possibly due to the similarities between vaudeville and British Pantomime and the inevitable bleedover of routines and musical numbers). For those who probably don't understand this cryptic music crap we're babbling on about, the Minsky Pickup is what people hear in ther heads when they think of "old-timey song from the age of steam, silent films, and top hats." The Minsky Pickup can also be used as an ending, with the final two notes sharpened. Related to Stock Sound Effects, Standard Snippet. See Shave And A Haircut for an equally ubiquitous ending. Not to be confused with this Minsky Pickup. |

In the The Honeymooners episode called "The $99,000 Answer" (after the fictional TV show Ralph is going on), when Ralph is cramming for an appearance on a game show where he has to identify songs, Norton is helping him by playing songs on the piano. EACH song is preceded by Norton "Warming Up" which consists of the notes of "Way Down Upon the Swanee River" followed by "dadum, dadum dum dum!" (FWIW that particular episode used to have its own page on The Other Wiki.* That page has since been deleted, with its contents moved into the table of summaries on the show's main page, making that episode's entry much longer than the couple of sentences most of the others have.) Incidentally, there's an inside joke in that clip: The third song Ed plays for Ralph, that Ralph has trouble getting, is "Melancholy Serenade"—the theme song from The Jackie Gleason Show, which Jackie himself wrote. |

Super Mario Bros.: The classic Super Mario Bros. theme starts with a variation on the Minsky Pickup. The Athletic theme of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins uses a sped-up version of the short version of this snippet right in the beginning. The beginning of the Race theme from Super Mario Odyssey begins with this. Mario Kart 64's music for Moo Moo Farm and Yoshi Valley starts with a fairly standard example. Baby Park in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! features this introduction. Mario Kart 8 has Minsky pickups for N64 Yoshi Valley, GCN Baby Park, as well as Sweet Sweet Canyon. Mario Party 2: Appears at the start of the "Western Land" theme, to tie into the cowboy theming. Wario Land 2: The second bar of the main theme of the game, note for note. |

Played on the piano at the start of the solicitor's song ("a __ I would be") in Monty Python's Flying Circus; the same snippet was used in the "Pythonizer" on their Complete Waste of Time CD-ROM as a customization sound effect and keystroke noise. | |

"Prince Ali" from Aladdin features this in the last line of the introductory verse: "Are you gonna love this guy!" "One Jump Ahead" also uses this twice: "You're my only friend Abu" and "Otherwise we'd get along". |

Whenever Fred, Ethel or Lucy would do a song on the I Love Lucy show they almost always started by singing a Minsky Pickup. Considering Fred and Ethel were supposedly retired vaudevillians, this was entirely reasonable. |
