Whatever the reason, Cameron's humming has left audiences bemused, and inspired an internet cacophony.
Facebook user Chris Hollis posted "Breaking: After announcing Theresa May will be PM on Wednesday, #Cameron leaks new Evil #Tory theme tune" which sounds particularly convincing.
Classic FM, a British radio station, analysed the notes titled the tune Cameron's Lament, and declared, rather hopefully, that it was "Beethoven-esque".
The New Zealand Youth Choir, currently on tour in Europe, offered a choral version of the tune.
Fans of the ditty can also rave to the club remix version which surfaced on Gawker.
Perhaps the best interpretation of all is the lush Fantasy on David Cameron.

R. Goble commented "This is so good... I don't know how to feel." to which youtuber Mark Grant replied: "Try using your hands."
