Help me with Extra Credit!!!

<p>I have a Physics exam this Tuesday, and the teacher is offering us extra credit and it is completely unrelated to Physics. Here it is: </p>

<p>"Extra credit question for the exam: In the history of Western civilization there are only two musical scores universally recognized by their first four notes. One is Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. What is the second? Hint: the piece is not classical. Email me with your guesses. Winners get 2 points added to their exam score, assuming they have completed all 10 questions correctly for this HW set."</p>

<p>The second hint he gave us was "TV". He didn't say if it was an acronym or the first two words of the song. I am stumped. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>I would guess either Star Wars main theme or Imperial March.
Maybe it’s just because I’m a Star Wars nerd ._.</p>

3

<p>It could also be the US National Anthem or the Indiana Jones theme.</p>

<p>Edit: </p>

<p>or:</p>

<p>Requiem for a Dream
Pachelbel’s canon (but its classical)</p>

4

<p>The US national anthem is only known to us Americans though. Star wars would be a nice try, but it has to be four notes. Star Wars’s theme is too long.</p>

5

<p>Meow Meow Mix.</p>

6

<p>Well with Star Wars I was thinking of the D D D G, but I completely forgot about the few bars of intro before I posted.</p>

7

<p>Star Trek theme?</p>

8

<p>I agree with BillyMC - Meow Meow Mix all the way!</p>

<p>Yep. “TV”… obviously means it appears on television, unless that’s a red herring. And the whole damn song is the first four notes over and over again. Commercial culture is so pumped into us that if anyone here was to hear those first four notes, they would think “Meow Meow Mix”. “Classical” is a line that’s hard to draw, but the Meow Meow Mix is most certainly NOT classical, and it’s from TV.</p>

10

<p>I’m actually going to third meow meow mix after listening to it … again … and again …</p>

<p>lol</p>

12

<p>^Lol. Maybe it’s someone from his class.</p>

13

<p>It’s exactly the same question, so it would have to be. It was also posted within the last day.</p>

14

<p>LaTina, holy crap lol. That a girl from my Physics class!! Small world. She is one playing hard to get and is giving me tons of draaamaaaa. That is funny. I will definitely have to text her. </p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestions guys! I don’t know if the “meow meow meow mix” thing will do.</p>

15

<p>Only two meows. Anyway, whatever you go with, be sure to report back the right answer.</p>

16

<p>Lol, the girl said that she will delete the yahoo question before someone else finds it. I think she was embarrassed by the username “fast baby blonde” lmao.</p>

17

<p>So what was the answer?</p>

18

<p>No idea. He never told the class. I will find out on Thursday when he grades all the tests. It will probably be something that is highly debatable.</p>

19

<p>What was your guess? Or have you not made it yet?</p>

20

<p>Okay, I’m still betting on the Meow Meow Mix.</p>
