Actually, Hugh, it is EXACTLY like the theme to jaws. The duuuuuh-DUNT thing from Jaws stands for the presence of the danger and of a character (the shark). After all, the "theme" from Jaws is more like a motif than a theme. John Williams use of Leitmotif may be a bit ham-fisted, but it works the same as in Wagner...

And where did John Williams get the theme to jaws? Listen to Dvorak's 9th symphony, beginning of the 4th movement. Recognize anything?

"Not like the theme from Jaws." Actually, it's exactly like the theme from Jaws. John Williams was very much influenced by Wagner's use of leitmotifs!

does saying Wagner was a nazi make me an ignorant prick?

@monkeybizwak Wagner died in 1883 and the Nazi party was started in the 1920s. Yes, you are.

@violinthief Thanks for that, Hitler loved using his music to boost nationalism. sympathize with this misconception us ignorant fools tend to believe

@monkeybizwak If it makes you feel any better - Richard Strauss really was a nazi. So was Herbert Von Karajan. Wagner probably would have been, but he was long dead. Here's a stupid joke for you - what is Wagner doing today? Decomposing.
