Yakety Sax is the fast, comical saxophone track famous from The Benny Hill Show, used for sped-up chases, fails and silly troll edits online.

This live version of Yakety Sax is a frantic, bouncy instrumental built around a squealing saxophone riff, honky-tonk piano and a galloping rhythm section. The tempo feels like it is always rushing forward, turning even ordinary movement into a slapstick chase. Every run up and down the scale sounds cheeky and breathless, which is why the track instantly signals comedy rather than danger. Played under footage, it makes people look like they are running in fast-forward, bumping into things and escaping just in time, and the audience reads the scene as a joke before anything else happens.

Yakety Sax was released in 1963 by American saxophonist Boots Randolph, co-written with James Q. Rich, and built on a playful riff meant to imitate a yakking saxophone. It became internationally famous as the closing chase music on The Benny Hill Show, where sped-up, mostly silent pursuit scenes played out to its frantic tempo. That association carried into early internet videos and troll compilations, alongside staples like the Directed by Robert B Weide outro, where dropping the track over any frantic run instantly turned it into a Benny Hill parody.
