"Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold

What you do to remindingly indicate to someone dat you're patiently waiting for him to tell you an answer, finish up with something, etc.
You hafta be careful about employing da "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold technique to gently pressure someone to get his a** in gear and be forthcoming with whatever action he's supposed to be doing for you --- some people really enjoy said catchy tune, and so your melodiously warbling it might actually SLOW HIM DOWN because he loves listening to it so much; heck, you might even PUT HIM TO SLEEP if you softly vocalize said soothing melody for too long a time! :P
