Probably the most infamous seven beats of music in the modern world, or at least high on the list, this five-and-two lick appears everywhere. In music, it's a sting to end a piece; in other media, it appears in a joke and/or as a recognition signature, usually a knock—the first person taps out "shave-and-a-hair-cut," and waits for the "two bits" response.note "Two bits" is old American slang for 25 cents, dating from the time of the Spanish Milled Dollar, which was worth 8 Spanish Reals — one Real, or "bit", was an eighth of a dollar. This was why pirates called them Pieces of Eight. Incidentally, good luck finding a barber that gives a shave and a haircut for 25 cents these days, and good luck, too, trying to incorporate inflation into a two-knock beat (ten bucks, maybe?) For laymen unfamiliar with musical terminology and reading musical notes, "Shave and a Haircut" is the name of the familiar beat that goes "dun dun-dun dun dun, DUN DUN." While the rhythm is flexible, and the words change, it's always to a similar tune, though some different versions of it exist. Illustrated is actually a variation of the original tune, with a flattened sixth. (A flat instead of an A). Another common variation is to have an additional faster note between the "and" and "a" part of the melody, usually an augmented fourth. (which would be an F# in the illustrated example). (Cultural warning: be careful with expressing this song in Mexico or in front of Mexicans, because as noted under the real-life section this sting is extremely offensive over there and is likely to get you in serious trouble with another Mexican unless you have enough of a friendship to justify it as friendly teasing). For an equally ubiquitous song intro, see the Minsky Pickup. |

In another, police are arresting a group of mobsters, and one of the mobsters complains, "I knew it. I just knew it! 'Shave and a Haircut' was a lousy secret knock." |

Shows up in a couple of The Dresden Files novels. The first time it appears, Harry uses the words "six bits!" as the punchline - perhaps he learned of the gag from the Michelle Shocked example below in Music? Regardless, someone must have corrected him, as in a later book he uses the more common "two bits" version. | |

In The Breakfast Club, Vernon goes into the library to investigate the commotion caused by Bender falling through the ceiling of the bathroom; unknown to him, Bender is hiding under a table at the moment. Bender starts to sit up but bonks his head on the table, and Andrew nearby quickly raps the "and a haircut" part of the beat; Bender fist-beats "two bits" back. | |

Discworld: "Shave and a haircut, no legs" is the jingle of the Guild of Barber Surgeons. Used as a secret knock ("The Hairdressers Barber-Surgeon's Knock") in Making Money. At the start of the Music With Rocks In story Soul Music, "Shave and a haircut, two pence" is the very first thing the drummer plays. |

M*A*S*H: Hawkeye once started singing Largo al Factotom ("Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!") before segueing into "Shave and a Haircut". Radar then adds, "So that's where that came from!" In "Bug Out", the unit has bugged out (except for Hawkeye, Margaret, and Radar) and see a shack they can use as a makeshift operating room. Upon hearing giggling (it's occupied by ladies of the night), B.J. knocks "Shave and a Haircut", then whistles "two bits". |

QI: In the 10th-season Christmas Episode "Jingle Bells", in a discussion about astronauts playing practical jokes, Danny Baker mentions the Golden Record included in the Voyager probes, which contains pictures of humanity and the Earth, greetings in assorted languages and musical works ranging from Bach to Chuck Berry. Danny then says that a NASA guy he once spoke with told him that NASA also included the first five beats of the "Shave and a Haircut" knock, in the belief than any intelligent life wouldn't let it go, and some day they would receive the "Two bits" knock back from space. | |

Kingsman: The Secret Service: Lancelot uses this knock at the hideout where professor Arnold is locked. Perhaps wanting to appear inconspicuous. | |

In Grand Theft Auto IV, sometimes when you honk the first half of this tune using a cat horn, other drivers will respond with the rest. | |

Several The Three Stooges short subject films have them. Usually a stooge (usually Curly) would tap something (usually a wall) and get a response from whatever is on the other side (usually some kind of monster). They would mirror it perfectly until the "shave and a haircut" part was tapped out. A delay, a "nyuk nyuk", a "two bits" response, and you know the rest. | |

In The Goon Show episode "The Great Bank of England Robbery", Neddie, Eccles, and Bloodnok are trapped underground. When tapping on the walls and receiving mysterious replies, Eccles taps out the first part and, in the silence that follows, ribs the listeners for expecting the second part but is interrupted by the *Two Bits!* tap. | |

In a scene in Spy Kids, Juni accidentally handcuffs himself to a metal lunchbox. He walks away from Carmen, trying to shake it off, and the soundtrack drum plays "Shave and a Haircut". Juni responds with "two bits" by smashing the lunchbox into the wall, and the lunchbox rebounds and slams into his head. | |
