Dun dun duuun!

Dun dun duuun! is a short three-chord musical phrase that is widely used in media to indicate a moment of surprise. In modern productions, it is often used as a joke effect. There are three main variations of the sting.

An example is heard in Young Frankenstein, with the chord progression rising and then falling instead of all three chords falling. This version was used in the 2007 YouTube video Dramatic Chipmunk.
