Tea for Two in Tahiti
Tahiti Trot is Shostakovich's 1927 orchestration of "Tea for Two" from the musical No, No, Nanette by Vincent Youmans.
Shostakovich wrote it in response to a challenge from conductor Nikolai Malko: after the two listened to the song on record at Malko's house, Malko bet 100 roubles that Shostakovich could not completely re-orchestrate the song from memory in under an hour. Shostakovich took him up and won, completing the orchestration in around 45 minutes."

Happy Birthday Doris Day
What a fantastic singer. Born this day a few years ago. Happy Birthday Doris Day.
Too bad this song was appropriated by drunken football fans.
