How do!
Here’s a challenge for you Dakka.
I’ve got a piece of music stuck in my head. I don’t know its name, and I don’t know the artist. But I’ll do my best to describe it.
I’m pretty sure it’s 70’s/80’s synth. I’d describe it as spooky carousel music, and I associate it with comedy and straight magic shows, and that’s what it was regularly used for on TV. That and tongue-in-cheek “investigations”
The bass line has a slight “squelch” to its tone. And it goes something like “Doo, Doo, Doo, doodoodoo, Doo, Doo Doo, doodoodoo, dodidodidoidio”
Last bit is quite rapid, like someone flipping their hand across two keys. The rest is quite slow, like a waltz.
Anyone got any ideas? I’ll knows it when I hears it straight away!

The only one I can think of that might fit your description...

It sounds like it could be from a soundtrack for a movie or TV show, reused again and again? Or do you think it’s an actual piece of classical music? Is it meant to be more spooky or humorous? Which instruments besides piano do you remember hearing?
There’s a guy in YouTube named Vanheteiro who puts out compilations of popular songs “you don’t know the names of”. Might be worth a shot watching some of his vids.
Would it be something used in Looney Tunes or Scooby Doo maybe?
For some reason I keep finding the following and forgetting what I was looking for...
Spoiler:
Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for

Possibly? But I more associate it in my head with live action kids shows. The sort of thing used to accompany a walk through an odd museum, to add a greater sense of whimsy.
