12th Street Rag

"**12th Street Rag**" was originally composed by Euday L. Bowman in 1914. The new version was composed by Nicolas Carr, Sage Guyton and Jeremy Wakefield in 1999 for *SpongeBob SquarePants*, and features a ukulele and steel guitar playing and occasionally a bass. Two versions of this classic rag are used on the show: one recorded specifically for the show and one prerecorded version. Additionally, there is another version that has yet to be used. It usually plays when something weird or crazy might happen.

## Trivia
