bow chicka bow wow

Cheesy seduction music

Bow chicka bow wow mimics the bass-heavy funk guitar riff from 1970s pornographic films, used to suggest sexual activity or innuendo.

The phrase signals that something sounds suggestive or that a situation has turned sexual: She said she wanted to come upstairs and "see my apartment"—bow chicka bow wow.

Often used humorously to acknowledge double entendres.
