I've always known shave and a haircut, from Looney Tunes cues on down/up. The wiki informs me that, among other facts:
The tune has been used innumerable times as a coda or ending in musical pieces. It is strongly associated with the stringed instruments of bluegrass music, particularly the 5-string banjo. Earl Scruggs often ended a song with this phrase or a variation of it. On the television show The Beverly Hillbillies, musical cues signifying the coming of a commercial break (cues which were in bluegrass style) frequently ended with "Shave and a Haircut". It is the most popular bluegrass run, after the G run.
Johnny's Theme, the music that opened The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, famously ended with the "shave and a haircut" flourish every weeknight for 30 years and 4,531 episodes.

Les Paul and Mary Ford's Capitol recording of "Magic Melody" concluded with the phrase minus the last two notes ("two bits"). Responding to complaints from disc jockeys, Capitol in 1955 released "Magic Melody Part 2"—consisting solely of the missing notes—on a 45, said to be the shortest tune on record/

The original version of "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra (recorded for Capitol Records in 1955) ends with the tune.

What are you referring to?

I had to Google it myself. I guess the actor was on Hot Ones, and compared the host to Nardwar, positively.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 15 July 2022 00:25 (one year ago) link
sorry, yeah the hot ones show. nardwuar on that program would be amazing.

"Magic Melody - Part II" even has a discogs entry:https://www.discogs.com/release/22510415-Les-Paul-Mary-Ford-Magic-Melody-Part-II
The label lists the time as "one second". There's a bit of debate as to whether it's shorter than a split 7" with Napalm Death's "You Suffer" on the first side and Electro Hippies "Mega Armageddon Death Part 3" on the B-side:https://www.45cat.com/record/pro234
But that was a commercial release whereas the Les Paul single was a promo only. As one of the posters points out one second is shorter than a single rotation of a 45rpm 7", so the songs have to be padded out with silence. Unless the groove didn't cover the whole circumference of the record, which would probably be murder on styluses. Stylii?

the Lizzo interview feels like one of the rare times where it's pretty clear who supplied some of the question material.

nardwuar hijacking the best show is exactly as great as you'd expect it to be.
