The Law & Order theme comes from the television franchise created by Dick Wolf, and its dramatic intro became one of the most recognizable TV music cues of the 1990s and 2000s. Online, people use the theme to instantly signal detective work, legal trouble or mock seriousness in short edits. It often appears alongside the separate Law & Order DUN DUN hit, but the full theme remains popular because it sets the whole procedural mood in just a few seconds.
