Yes, I remember this one, though from adolescence, not childhood.

As I recall, the set-up was a line of women: one facing forward, one
facing backward, one forward, one backward, one forward, three
backward. The quizmaster asks,

Q. "What bit of classical music do these women represent?"
A. "The William Tell Overture."
Q. "Wow! How'd you know?!
A. Easy. Titty-rump-titty-rump ..."
