Onomatopoeic word for the sound of a trumpet. In Knightmare Series 5, Sir Hugh would often say it as part of his opening speech when arriving somewhere and greeting others: it was his way of giving himself a fanfare.

Tarantara is derived from 'taratantara', a Latin word coined some 2200 years ago by the influential poet Ennius:

At tuba terribili sonitu taratantara dixit - But the trumpet with its terrible sound said "Taratantara"
