T:St Louis Tickle
N:From the playing of the Humphries Brothers (Texas)
C:Theron C. Bennett  (1904), written under the pseudonym 
C:Barney & Seymour.
N:The tune celebrated the St. Louis Exposition. "Immensely popular with 
N:contemporary pianists St. Louis Tickle has become an evergreen standard 
N:recorded right up to the present day. Its popularity rests not only its bright
N:infectious strains but perhaps also on the notoriety of the B-strain said to 
N:have been derived from Funky Butt, whose vulgar lyrics delighted street 
N:urchins and young men about town alike."
