I like Guy Lombardo's Congratulate Me but unfortunately I can't seem to find a complete version anywhere on the Net. Part of it can heard at the beginning:

I Don't Dance With Strangers

Lyrics
The band is playing that old melody
And it brings back summer nights
And good old Texas memories
And i came here to chase away my blues
And the last thing I expected
Was to meet someone like you

But I don't dance with strangers
It's a dangerous thing to do
I just came here to hear the band
And have myself a drink or two
But you're tall, dark and lonesome
And it's driving me insane
But I don't dance with strangers
So honey, what's your name?

Now listen, I ain't looking for romance
The last thing that my heart needs now
Is to to take another chance
But what's the harm in once around the floor?
And maybe later on
We won't be strangers anymore

But I don't dance with strangers
It's a dangerous thing to do
I just came here to hear the band
And have myself a drink or two
But you're tall, dark and lonesome
And it's driving me insane
But I don't dance with strangers
So honey, what's your name?

"Kitten on the Keys" by Edward 'Zez' Confrey was inspired by his grandmother's pet cat running across her piano.

"Chevy Chase Rag", by Eubie Blake.

I'd love to know the meaning behind the title of this tune. Personally I think it sounds like old-timey car-chase music from a silent film and that 'Chevy' refers to 'Chevrolet' (founded 1911. This piece came out in 1914).
