I was working on a song last night, trying to match the music to some lyrics, when I bumped into the fabled AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL CHORD.
You know it when you hear it. We've all been trained by television to have a Pavlovian response to this sound.

The chord that they play immediately after bad news befalls one of our beloved main characters... It emphatically makes the point that ill winds are blowing, trouble is afoot and something wicked this way comes.
It is also an "acting law" that when the After School Special Chord sounds, our hero gets a faraway look and stares at the craft services table, behind camera three.
Here is my performance of the After School Special Chord, for you:

Do horrible people laugh at this After School Special Chord? Because I might be a horrible person.
