The Syncopated Clock

Factual Questions
1

I and some friends of mine have been trying to recall the answer to this bit of classic TV trivia. (Actually, we’ve batted this around for years.) Perhaps you folks can help.

What TV show (game show?) used the Leroy Anderson song “The Syncopated Clock”, either as a theme or as background music while the contestants were coming up with an answer?

Isn’t that on Jeopardy?

“Beat the Clock”

My only recollection of it is as various “Late Movie” themes.

It’s is on the album Television Themes: 16 Most Requested Songs but the on-line listings don’t say which program it was used on.
This page has the following info:

Maybe that “original” theme is really “Syncopated Clock.”

I’ve thought of both of those (Jeopardy and Beat the Clock), but I don’t think they’re right. If it was “Jeopardy” it would have had to been an older version; the music they use now is not “The Syncopated Clock”. If it was “Beat the Clock” then it’s surprising to me that I can’t find a reference anywhere (yet) that links the two. (I think “Hickory Dickory Dock” was a different piece of music, but I may be wrong.)
