Losing horns


the unwanted sound heard on a game show, usually when a bonus round is lost.

on the price is right, when a player loses his or her pricing game, or if there is a double overbid in the showcase, these are signified by a tuba playing the first four notes of theme music followed by horns playing notes in c, d, and e all at once before pretending to faint. when drew carey hosted the show in 2007, an a-sharp note was added with faintly audible drums with the sound remixed in full stereo.
when you hear the losing horns on a game show, you know something went horribly wrong.
