"Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits" Shave and a Haircut and the associated response "two bits" is a simple, 7-note musical couplet popularly used at the end of a musical performance, usually for comic effect. " Two bits" is an archaism in the United States for 25 cents, a quarter. The final words may also be "get lost" or some other facetious expression. In England, it was often said as "five bob", although words are now rarely used to accompany the rhythm of the tune. The first known occurrence of the tune is from an 1899 Charles Hale song, "At a Darktown Cakewalk." Other songs from the same period also used the tune. The same notes form the bridge in the "Hot Scotch Rag", written by H.A. Fischler in 1911. An early recording used the 7-note tune at both the beginning and the ending of a humorous 1915 song, by Billy Murray and the American Quartet, called " On the 5:15". In 1939, Dan Shapiro, Lestor Lee and Milton Berle released "Shave and a Haircut - Shampoo" which featured the tune in the closing bars, and is thought to be the origin of the lyric. Over time the phrase has gone through several variations. The tune can be heard on customized car horns, while the rhythm may be tapped as a door knock. You are looking for a black nano.
