    GGGDEC

    Alright powerful interwebs, I'm turning to you for help. I'm trying to find an audio clip of the classic punchline music that they used in Laugh-In. Wikipedia describes it as:
    A six-note pattern preceding a code-word or punchline to an off-color joke, such as "do-doo-doo-da-do-doo ... smack!" or "... family jewels!" (sometimes extended to 18 notes by repeating the GGGDEC pattern two more times before the code-word). This same musical phrase had been used as a "signature" at the end of many pieces played by Spike Jones and his City Slickers.
    It's one of those tunes that if you heard it, you'd instantly recognize it. It's synonymous with wacky jokes and as such, need it for day to day life. :D If anyone can find a recording of it, let me know and I'll be forever in your debt.

    Why don't you just look it up in your Funk and Wagnalls?

    Ah, there is a certain bit of fascination in looking up one obscure reference with another.

    I haven't found it by itself, but here is a Spike Jones video with it at the end. The sound starts at 2:38. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvt4b_qwC_Q
