What is the name of the classic banjo tune played when a chase is on? Danny Baker plays it as a bed to some of his stories,

I thought it was Foggy Mountain Breakdown but it isnt.

Anyone know?

Yakety Sax, perhaps?

"Yakety Sax" is a piece of music written by James Q. "Spider" Rich and popularized by saxophonist Boots Randolph.

"Yakety Sax" is often used in television and film as a soundtrack for outlandishly humorous situations. It was frequently used to accompany comedic sketches in the comedy programme The Benny Hill Show,[3] where it accompanied otherwise silent, rapidly paced comedy sequences typically involving a farcical chase scene. This use of the piece, and the chase scenes themselves, have been parodied in many other movies and TV shows.
