The iconic two-note Jaws intro from the 1975 movie, a low ominous tuba theme that builds dread for a shark approaching just out of sight.

This is the opening of John Williams' Jaws theme, built on just two alternating low notes played slowly then faster. The tuba and strings create a pulsing heartbeat that feels like something huge moving closer underwater. It does not sound scary in a loud way, it sounds inevitable, which is why a few seconds are enough for anyone who hears it to picture a fin breaking the surface and a swimmer who has no idea what is coming.

Suggerimento pro

Drop it under a wide shot and let the notes speed up as your subject gets closer to danger, then cut the music dead on the reveal. Keep dialogue out until the last two pulses, and do not loop it flat, the accelerating tempo is what sells the joke.

Composed by John Williams for Steven Spielberg's Jaws in 1975, the main theme is famously just two notes, E and F, played on tuba to represent the shark itself. Williams won an Academy Award for the score, and the motif became shorthand in film and television for unseen danger approaching. Online it lives on as an instant suspense cue, reused in parodies, trailers, and edits whenever something ordinary needs to feel like a predator closing in.

The famous two-note motif is played mainly on tuba, backed by low strings. Composer John Williams designed the simple alternating notes to mimic the shark approaching, growing faster and louder as the danger gets closer to the victim.

Who composed the Jaws theme and when?

John Williams composed the score for Steven Spielberg's Jaws, released in 1975. The main theme became one of the most recognised pieces of film music ever written and helped Williams win the Academy Award for Best Original Score that year.

Why do people use the Jaws sound in memes?

Because the two notes instantly signal something dangerous sneaking up, creators use it for comic suspense. Placing it under a cat, a toddler, or a coworker approaching turns an ordinary moment into a fake shark attack build-up.
