TIP TOP POKA. AKA and see "Bacup Coconut Tune," "Britannia Coconut Dance (The)," "Clow Bank." English, Polka (2/4 time). "Tip Top Polka" is associated in traditional circles with the Rochdale Coconut Dance, as one of the tunes played for the polka step dance by the dancers of the Pennine town of Bacup, Lancashire. See note for "annotation:Rochdale Coconut Dance" for more information on the dance and dancers, however the origins of the tune itself remain unclear.
The tune can presently be heard as the theme music for the character Krusty Krab in the cartoon Spongebob, played by the Chelmsford Folk Band.
There are other, musically unrelated, tunes with the name "Tip Top Polka," dating as far back as 1850 (a composition by Moravian composer, conductor and impresario Max Maretzek (1821-1897), published by Edward L. Walker of Philadelphia).
