Motus was a French television word game broadcast on France 2 from 1990 to 2019 and presented for most of its run by Thierry Beccaro. Contestants tried to guess hidden words letter by letter, a format that made the programme a daytime staple for nearly three decades. Its générique became one of its most memorable elements, turning the title into a repeated sung hook that viewers could join in with at home. Clips of the intro now circulate online as a nostalgic French TV reference.

The opening theme from the French TV word game show Motus, known for its fast repeating chant, bright jingle and the energy used in nostalgic edits.
This is the opening jingle for Motus, built around a bright, fast-paced melody and a group chant that repeats the show's name as mo-mo-motus. The sound is cheerful and instantly recognisable, with a singalong hook, punchy rhythm and game show energy that builds excitement before a round begins. For viewers who grew up with daytime television word games, it triggers immediate nostalgia, while for others it works as a pure celebration cue. Its short, looping chant makes the title impossible to forget and gives any clip a playful, competitive feeling.
