What tune does the worlds smallest violin play?

• What tune does the smallest violin in the world play? I seem to remember many years ago hearing/seeing the cliche'd "sad violin" tune in a movie (comedy I think?) when someone was explaining some long, sad, tear-jerking exaggerated tale of woe. And thus miming the playing of a violin used to be a way of sarcastically indicating to someone that you don't really care what they were carrying on about. These days it seems like people care so little that they use the smallest violin in the world to project their sarcasm! But still, I think that violin would still be playing the same cliche'd sad tune. I'd love to know what it is. I can hum the first few notes of this tune. In fact the people I've seen doing the violin mime and humming the tune all seem to be humming the same tune so I believe its a real tune not just one my memory has imagined. But I've tried using the Parson's code for the tune on search sites and so far haven't found it. Does anyone have any clues? Am I right that this is a real piece of music, or maybe it was just a snippet used for that one scene. I was *sure* it was more widespread than that though.
