Just made an edit -- I incorrectly listed the host of "You Bet Your Life" as Jack Benny.  Actually, the honor went to Groucho Marx.  And it seems that the think music is actually Groucho Marx's theme, and has lyrics:
"Hooray for Captain Spaulding! The African Explorer!"

The "Capt. Spaulding" song, of course, was originally heard in the 1930 Marx Brothers movie Animal Crackers.

This topic is right in my wheelhouse because I love music theory, timing and time signatures. I also love mentally analyzing any music to determine the rhythmic patterns.
I figure you're the guy to ask for this: do you know what circle of fifths was used for the five different levels?
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Great question. Without seeing the sheet music, I'm going for C-D-G-A-E.

The same composer team used C-D-G in the Winning Lines Wonderwall music bed, with the key changing up after a pitstop was used.
