The title "Rat Cheese Under the Hill" is thought to be a corruption of "Natchez under the Hill," for which it has been occasionally used as an alternate title, however there is no melodic similarity between "Rat Cheese under the Hill" and the tune usually played as "Natchez under the Hill" (AKA "Turkey in the Straw"). West Virginia fiddler Clark Kessinger (1896-1975) recorded the reel (accompanied by his nephew Luches) in 1930 as "Rat Cheese under the hill," which reappeared as “[[Pike's Peak]]” on a 1933 78 RPM by (mandolinist Ted) Sharp, Hinman and Sharp. Kessinger’s raggy-sounding “Rat Cheese under the Hill” was recorded by Texas fiddler Bob Wills under the title “[[Prosperity Special]],” a nod to Roosevelt's New Deal.

RAT CHEESE UNDER THE HILL. AKA and see "Pike's Peak," "Prosperity Special." Old-Time, Breakdown. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The title "Rat Cheese Under the Hill" is thought to be a corruption of "Natchez under the Hill," for which it has been occasionally used as an alternate title, however there is no melodic similarity between "Rat Cheese under the Hill" and the tune usually played as "Natchez under the Hill" (AKA "Turkey in the Straw"). West Virginia fiddler Clark Kessinger (1896-1975) recorded the reel (accompanied by his nephew Luches) in 1930 as "Rat Cheese under the hill," which reappeared as “Pike's Peak” on a 1933 78 RPM by (mandolinist Ted) Sharp, Hinman and Sharp. Kessinger’s raggy-sounding “Rat Cheese under the Hill” was recorded by Texas fiddler Bob Wills under the title “Prosperity Special,” a nod to Roosevelt's New Deal.
