Simple question, but as the end credits roll, after a few seconds, there is this little piano bit played that then gets faded out by the end credits score. It is scathingly familiar sounding but I just can't place it. Any ideas?

It's the introduction to Penny's Song (and her Caring Hand bit in Act I) without the vocals.

Oh I suppose you are right, it is. Though it's been transposed down a little bit. I guess it just reminded me of some other song (which is uppose with all of four notes isn't too unlikely) cause I swear I have heard it outside of Dr. Horrible.
Hmmm, and Penny's Song being suddenly drowned out by the rather diaboloical Dr. Horrible's Theme, no symbolism in that I'm sure…

Oh, yep. It's in B-flat (whereas the song is in C). Didn't notice because I don't have perfect pitch.
That sequence of chords is in a bunch of songs: I IV iii7 vi7, and also it's the inverse of the Pachelbel's canon chord sequence (I V vi iii) which itself is in every song in every genre imaginable, as evidenced by this video.

Cool. I didn't notice how common it was before. I probably heard it somewhere in a movie score then. Of course I have no idea how to ready your fancy music-theory-knowing notation but I am sure google can get me informed. From another post I on this board, I had to look up the definition of a Fugue. I really need to learn this stuff…

If you break it down — simplify the equation, most popular music comes out with all major chords in 4ths (or 5ths if you're going the other direction). Pachelbel's most famous piece can be simplified to I V IV I IV I IV V. The Penny's Song chords can be simplified to I IV V I (from I IV iii7 vi7 as C F em7 am7 for C F G6/E C6/A).
And no. I've heard plenty of music that don't follow Pachelbel's progression. Brazil (even if you slow Pachelbel's chord progression down, it still doesn't work). Chaiyya, chaiyya (which is actually just I I I I I I I I I I). Chameleon (which is also really i i i i i i i i i i). Rhapsodie Hongroise No. 2 (as well as most of the other 14 — though I haven't played them all). Istanbul (Not Constantinople). Linus and Lucy. Weird Science. The Hellraiser soundtrack. A Horse with No Name. Tennessee. Human Behavior. Yakety Sax. Cucanandy/The Jug of Brown Ale. Christmastime is Here. The Witchdoctor. Little April Shower. Little Light of Love. I Saved the World Today. Danse Macabre. A Cheater's Armoury. Dog and Butterfly. Sakura. Kung-fu World Champion. Della and the Dealer. The Peanut Vendor (El manisero). The Drunken Piper. Mrs. Robinson. For the Love of Money. Silent Lucidity. The Streetbeater (theme from Sanford and Son). Angela (theme from Taxi). It's Tricky (and most Rap). Kiss from a Rose. All I Wanna Do. Beep Beep. Surfin' Bird. Toss the Feathers. Both Sides Now. Elvira. Pinball Wizard. She Blinded Me With Science. Africa. Driver Down. The Blue Danube Waltz. The Cinderella Waltz. The Great Pumpking Waltz. Adagio for Strings (which I can play on keyboard with the exception of a singe 6-beat run). Should I go on?

Surely you didn't think I literally meant every song has the same chord progression? That was one of those gross exaggerations one uses in everyday life to make a point. I just meant there are a lot of songs with those chords. (-:

Actually, I meant what the comedian said. My bad.
