The tune is of course the ubiquitous 'Bow, wow, wow' utilised ad nauseam in the early 19th century and originating in a satyrical song about traders being portrayed as different breeds of dogs which I have somewhere. It's usually easy to spot when this tune is intended, with the repeated 3 syllables bow wow wow; now, now ,now etc.

Probably the best known song is the 'Drummer and the Cook' we all sang at school.
