Composed by John Williams for Steven Spielberg's 1975 thriller Jaws, the main theme uses two alternating low notes to represent the unseen great white shark approaching its victims. Williams won an Academy Award for the score, and the motif quickly left the cinema to become pop culture shorthand for impending danger. Parodied in comedies, adverts, and countless online edits, it is instantly recognised even by people who have never seen the film, which is why creators still use it whenever a slow, inevitable threat is the joke.

The iconic Jaws theme music with its slow dun dun dun dun build, from the 1975 shark film, used to signal approaching danger or suspense in videos.
This is the famous two-note shark motif from Jaws, built on low, repeating bass notes that start slow and quiet, then get faster and louder. The pattern is simple dun dun, dun dun, dun dun, but the tightening rhythm creates instant tension, as if something unseen is getting closer underwater. Even without any picture, listeners feel the threat approaching. On a soundboard it works as pure suspense shorthand, turning an ordinary moment, a pet creeping up, a friend walking toward the camera, or a mistake about to happen, into a mock horror scene.
