Jeopardy! is the long-running American television quiz show created by Merv Griffin, first airing in 1964. Its Final Jeopardy music, titled Think!, was composed by Griffin and plays for thirty seconds while contestants write their answers. The tune became one of the most recognisable sounds on television and later moved online as shorthand for thinking time. Editors, streamers and meme creators reuse this shorter clip whenever a pause needs to feel like a high-stakes decision, keeping the reference alive far beyond the game show itself.

The Jeopardy theme song clip used for thinking time, awkward pauses and waiting for an answer in quiz videos, streams, memes and reaction edits.
The clip is the familiar Jeopardy thinking music, a light ticking melody played while contestants write their Final Jeopardy answer. Bright xylophone-like notes bounce over a steady rhythm, building a polite but mounting pressure as the seconds run out. It instantly signals that someone is thinking hard, stalling, or about to give a wrong answer. Viewers recognize the joke without any explanation, which makes the short loop perfect for turning an ordinary pause, blank stare, or delayed reply into a comedic moment of suspense.
