X was originally composed by Y as "A Time for Tony", a lullaby for the Y's son Tony. X has been heard since 1964 and has now inserted itself into popular culture. X is often used at baseball stadiums when the manager goes out to the pitcher's mound to discuss a replacement, or during instant replay reviews, or at short-track races when officials are trying to ascertain the cause of an accident which may result in a penalty. On numerous shows, including The Jerry Springer Show and Boston Legal, X (or some variation thereof) is heard when a choice has to be made or a result is being awaited. Y estimated that the X earned him royalties of over $70 million.
What's X? Bonus points for identifying Y.

X is "Think", the Jeopardy tune which plays during Final Jeopardy. Y is the creator of Jeopardy, Merv Griffin. Congrats Truce for getting it right.
