Roundabout was released by the English progressive rock band Yes in 1971 and later became the ending theme for the first season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. In the anime, the track plays over a freeze frame marked To Be Continued, a format fans quickly copied for their own videos. The combination spread through YouTube, TikTok and meme edits, where the riff alone now signals that something dramatic is about to be left unresolved. Its familiarity and upbeat momentum keep it in regular use for cliffhangers, fails and ironic endings.

The opening riff from Yes's Roundabout, known as the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure To Be Continued meme sound, used to freeze a funny or dramatic moment.
This clip captures the bright, instantly recognisable opening guitar riff from Roundabout, played with a clean, driving rhythm that builds anticipation in just a few seconds. The notes bounce between a fast picking pattern and a warmer, fuller chord sound, giving it a classic rock energy that feels both triumphant and slightly cheeky. When it plays, viewers immediately expect a freeze frame and a dramatic pause, which is why it works so well as a punchline. It turns an ordinary slip, fail or surprise into a cliffhanger, leaving the audience laughing while they wait to see what happens next.
