To the rest of the world, it's simply "the cancan song." And it's usually (although not always) a cue for high-kicking ChorusGirls to hit the stage. To that end, it's a quintessential part of the PublicDomainSoundtrack and StandardSnippet tropes. And if the song's already running through your head as you read this? Yeah, it's a major {{Earworm}} as well...)

Because of its high-energy, feel-good nature, its use as a trope falls under one of the following conditions:

* '''Type A:''' Accompanying a performance of the cancan dance itself.
* '''Type B:''' To underscore a comedic action sequence.

Remember: not all performances of the cancan (dance) are set to the Cancan Song, and not all appearances of the song signal a performance of the dance.

Officially, it's the "Infernal Galop" from from Act II, Scene 2 of Jacques Offenbach's 1858 operetta ''Orpheus in the Underworld.''
